Some of the modifications to my 30 over 2.8:
Custom Venola 9.46:1 forged pistons
Eagle steel crankshaft
Worked con rods
CCed & ported heads
Multi-angle valve job
Engle high lift cam -EP-52/55HYD road race profile
CompCams rockers -stock ratio-
HD pushrods
Trueleo equal length headers -port matched-
Trueleo hi-flow intake manifold
MSD ignition
Pistons, Rods, Crankshaft, Flywheel, Pressure plate and Clutch professionally balanced
AC deleted
With some dyno tuning and a custom ECU chip, I think we can get at least 220+HP @ 5,500 - 6,500 RPM.

Engine mods TBD
Add an Accusump Oil Accumulator.
Replace TB with a bigger unit

TBD Additional body mods/chassie
H4000 type headlights
Intrax lowering springs
Slotted.drilled rotors
SS brake lines
Porterfield pads
Poly bushings
LED directionals and under rear deck lid emergency flasher strips
LINER ACTUATED HEADLIGHT DOORS
Blue tinted sail panels . I 'm going to make and sell them in verious colors.
Note: the black sail panel on the car is a prototype to check fit.

I like the custom spoiler, what all did you have to modify?

That looks like Mopar famous B5 blue. I like it.

Wonder if anyones tried using a Mopar flip style cap like a lot of the muscle Mopars had. There very easy to install, usually just a few sheet metal screws that will be hidden.

Well it was originally an 85 Mustang wing and thus I had to cut a lot off.
