1st article will be in June 2009 with Pictures of the install and location mounting.

They will then do a follow-up once it is running and then some videos of the track performance it turns out.

With those headers, mounts and the new steering shaft what is the header/steering shaft clearances? Looks great, but looks tight.

Looks like he's got the normal g-body floor rust problem, like I do :cry: The screws are holding the floor patch panel in place.

Quick question on the flaming river shaft, which one is it, and how long? I bought the jeep one, but that one looks a million times better. Do you have PN or anything?

Thanks

Now I bought from JD's Performance out of FL

I have 88 Monte Steering Shaft so it has 1"DD Shaft

Part # FR1857-20 EZ Shaft

1DD Upper Spline and 3/4-30 Lower Spline

It was about 250 bucks to my doors.
