Yep, time to put em away for the winter, for us Northerners anyways. Just seeing what everybody plans on doin to there ride this winter? All Im adding is Cobra R Calipers front and back and some Zinc coated cross drilled and slotted rotors, 13" and 11.65" Also need to have a bearing replaced on the Vortech. Other than that pretty slow winter

i have it up on jack stands now. had the wheels rebalanced and tightened up a loose exhaust. While its up I have subframe connectors that I should put on and I started looking at how to run a turbo. Just trying to figure out if Im mentally prepared to dig into another big project.

So far I have planned to add Strange Engineering shocks/struts, FRPP B springs with new isolators, and MM full length sub frame connectors. I'm hoping it will ride and drive like a whole new car because it all original right now. The SFCs will go one first and then the rest when I get the springs and rear shocks.

After tax returns, freshen up the stock short block and go H/C/I. Looking to "break the mold" and make a little more than 300rwhp. By little, I mean hopefully a lot. Let's just say the heads and intake I'm looking at would be happy on top of a 347-363 stroker...

Also, the car is getting a 130A alternator conversion as of now. Just need to finish up the wiring. I hate soldering.

I hope to get the motor swapped out in my Suzuki Swift and get it back on the road.... can't beat 45 mpg. My Ranger needs a new motor and the Capri needs the interior completed... whew!
