    TORQUE BOX REINFORCEMENT PLATES

    I use the upper and lower reinforcements by UMI performance at UMI PERFORMACE.COM and believe them to help over just welding up the stock boxes. I also use the UMI Performance "southside replacement" lower control arms, so I'll let you know soon how well it all holds up. thanks Jack

    clearance of my stock valve covers!

    thanks for the heads up on that, I guess i was in such a hurry I mistakenly misworded what I was saying. Is there any difference between 86 stock valve covers and later say 89-93 stock valve covers? The reason i say is I removed and grinded on the baffles in the stock 86 (part numbers anyway)...
