IF i do anything to the motor i'm converting it to roller and a BIGGER cam. The compression will stay the same cause after i finsh under the hood i'm still piecing together my S475 kit for it! My other plans are SFC install my anti roll bar for the rear i made rear diff cover tubular k member and arms and coil over's for the front like my SSP had. This one is gonna be more of a good cruiser/track/show/comfort car,unlike the coupe was more of a drag car.peace

thanks for the kind words john. this trade went about as smoothly as it could have. i took the notch around the block again today. broke in the rear tires pretty good. this car is going to be sick with some boost.

so did you guys trade running cars and you just already had the engine pulled before these pics? or did you just trade rolling chassis? i'm confused cause your car has no drivetrain and 281pony just said he drove your old car around the block. what engines do you guys have?

cenok is family we just traded rolling cars. i kept my motor trans exhust and radiator and same for john,DNA DOA and i stayed after we delivered my coupe to john and dropped his motor and trans in for him.I didnt see any reason to do the same to the saleen since i was doing the wire hidding and filling the holes in it.Juiced87Notch well you got 6 months to go now that the rain is returning shortly I should have mine ready to paint end of next week! peace
