I was glad too....saves so much work and hardache. Local emissions laws were exempting 87 and older cars from the test program so I figured I'd just jump down to an earlier model and be safe. However that program is being corrected to include the 87 and older cars in the next 4yrs, so I figure...bite the bullet and get enviormentally freindly here and now.

I have a hard time with that...88 is near 320/340 so I can't see making that kind of power, but we'll do our best . She's going under the knife shortly and should emerge in the spring a whole new little monster

well figuring that the car probably weighs about 500 pounds less than yours, maks up for some hp, but youll just have to do it to believe me, these things are monsters, with a good tune, and about 20psi, and a good intercooler.

Nice find man, that should definately keep you from getting bored working on the same car over and over again. If you get bored with one of them, go play with the ther one. Im glad you didnt end up taking your 88 apart man, i would have cried.

Nice pick-up DMan. How much lighter are the 4-banger Fox bods? Less weight on the front end which is already a huge bonus.

Yep, nothing like toting around in my '92 all week then hoping into my '90 on Friday night. It's a nice reminder that all the mods have paid off.

I was trying to find one of those a year or so ago. The only example I found was a heap. You could make it a killer commuter!
