    It looks like i'm going to search for a 6.0 for the '85 to keep up with you boys. I've done alot of searching theres tons of kits out there including headers and motormounts and tons of other goodies.

    I'm going to wait until winter to tear into this project. If you wanna help i'll provide the beer!
