Hmmm thats a lot of money for something you probably wont need if you go the turbo route mate. Im pretty sure that your current headers will fit

Only for the LS-1

Some of their clutches are also only for billet steel flywheels, too.

Shifter, Hurst.

The 305ci has now sold.

The strip-down began yesterday and continued today . . .

Nose cone removed - ready for the crane to move in . . .

Carb / cleaner off, dizzy out, leads removed, headers off, valve covers swapped, rad removed, all eletrics disconnected etc . . .

Just the motor mounts left to unbolt and she's ready to come out.





The guy's coming over next Sunday to pick up . . he's also after a few other bits I've got . . and paying cash - all good.

Once it's gone I'll be dropping the old front suspension, A-arms, springs, shocks, brakes (ready for the new tubular stuff) then scrubbing down the engine bay and treating it to some POR-15.

The next stage is beginning.

I see your using the Aldi chocks, I haven't used those yet but the axle stands are fine

Roadkill

I've only used the stands to support the axle (off of the car).

The chocks have been under the car since august I think, not rusted, nothing - very impressed.

No the pegs were put there for "absolute" saftey when the car was jacked with no brakes attached.

It didn't once move but I thought it best safe then crushed.

You can use the B/T carb in a N/A application its just the floats and seals that are changed over a standard one

Roadkill

That's what I though but was gonna email to make sure.
