    This was a six banger about a year ago I converted it with a used 302,rebuilt front suspension reinforced my control arms,"shelby drop",one month later started knocking,so I pulled it out had a 347 built,got it running dynoed 350rwhp 363rwtq and 3 months later the (cheap cast)crankshaft broke. So they put a forged crank in there now just got the engine back few days ago. Just waiting on a couple more parts to drop it back in. Next mods will be SF connectors,new leafsprings,headliner and paint.

    I'm currently doing the same. T5, 345 and 8.8 with disc all around. If you find leaf springs locally let me know I still have the stock ones. Any photos?
