    sound deadening

    if i remember correctly there was another post on here somewhere where the mass backing was highly recommended. i'll be replacing mine as well (since i currently have porno red) so i'll be curious on the responses to this question as well.

    sound deadening

    excellent points! it will have a full interior (i'm thinking about deleting the back seat but haven't decided on that just yet, which probably doesn't weigh more than 20lbs anyway.) but it won't have a bonkers stereo. i had not thought about the cage weighing that much. my main idea...

    sound deadening

    the interior isn't out yet, but will be soon.....hopefully. i remember seeing lizard skin on one of those sunday morning DIY car shows on spike. they seemed to like it, but i'm going to go out on a limb here and assume they were PAID to say that :shrug:.

    sound deadening

    i'm sure this topic has been discussed on here before but i apparently can't figure out how to find it with the search button..... any recommendations on which sound deadening to use? after the roll bar goes in i'm going to put something in there to make it much quieter than it was before...

    roll bar opinions

    once i get the interior pulled out the first thing to go back in will be a roll cage. i've looked at the ones that maximum motosports offers and the cages from jegs. i talked to a local shop that will do a 6 pt cage for about $400. for the same money i can get a much more "involved" cage from...

    rear seat removal?

    how do you remove the rear seats (both the seat cusions and the seat back)? i was looking at them yesterday and don't see a readily apparent way to remove them. i'm going from porno red to black and grey. looks like i better bone up on how to paint interior pieces :D

    iron aftermarket heads....do they exist???

    that's always an option too. afterall, the car is still in 1000 pieces so it's not like i need to have the heads tomorrow. i'll keep my eyes open for the right deal and see what happens.

    iron aftermarket heads....do they exist???

    thanx for the all the help and links!! i'm reading through thumpers website now. may have to give them a call next week and see what they say. if anyone knows of someone on here that has/had them i'd love to hear what they have to say about the company and the finishsed product...

    iron aftermarket heads....do they exist???

    i was actually hoping to get into a set of iron heads for around $600. i made the rookie assumption that if aluminum heads cost X than iron heads should be considerably cheaper. WRONG! i've seen ads for the heads you mentioned and the prices seem reasonable, but they will then need to be...

    iron aftermarket heads....do they exist???

    just looked around a little bit, and if i'm looking at the correct heads i'm in the $1500 per set neighborhood. does that sound about right? if that's the case, gonna have to pass. i need to save SOME money for the suspension :D i really thought iron heads would be considerably cheaper...

    iron aftermarket heads....do they exist???

    do they exist? i've been looking around at aftermarket heads and plan to stick with iron because of the cost. i want to stick with new heads since used heads would need to be rebuilt anyway. problem is i can't find any iron heads! they are all aluminum and a bit on the pricey side for what...

    Edlebrock 60379.....input

    i haven't looked at the link posted above just yet so this question may already be answered but how would the eddy heads compare to aluminum GT40x heads? they both seem to run about the same price new, i'm suspecting they'd run about the same price on the used market?

    Edlebrock 60379.....input

    thanx for the input! that's really the comparison i was looking for. it's not too hard to find the GT40 heads and they seem to run around $200-$250. for another couple hundred bucks i could possibly step up to a used set of these aluminums and it sounds like i'll be much happier in the long...

    Edlebrock 60379.....input

    thanx for the link.... i actually tried to go back and edit my OP but must not have done it correctly. i had a dumb arse attack and didn't realize until AFTER i started this thread the prices i was looking at were listed as EACH. i've found them listed at a couple of different spots where...

    good buy?

    that's what i'm figuring as well at this point. especially after seeing the different casting numbers that should have been on there somewhere. i'm tempted to call the guy and ask if they have the 3 or 4 lines, but i don't remember seeing them. "these things will make your car RUN" is what he...
