I will definitely get some dyno video. I had to sacrifice the ford 9" rear end upgrade for now. I will probably get it done Jan-Feb maybe sooner if possible. I then have to get the subframe connectors installed, the 4-link kit and rear coilovers and at least a 4 point cage maybe 6 point. Next year it comes down again to go TKO 6 speed if I can get the fund together by then. It may be 2018 before I can do the straight drive transmission though.

Yes I know I have to get rid of that big ugly power brake booster. That will happen soon as well. Just trying to get it moving under its own power again.

Thanks Brother! This is a vision I have had for a long time finally coming around.

I was going to compliment you on the properly painted & detailed brake booster & master cylinder!

Sure looks nice!

My biggest challenge is going to be dealing with the supercharger intake port. It is a pretty tight fit with not a bunch of room between it and the shock tower. The kit came with just a K&N filter to connect to it but that ain't happening as it is too tight to allow it. So, it looks like I am going to have to do some plumbing to get it finagled around. Not looking forward to that since it is 3.75" ID pipe. Here are a couple shots of what I am having to contend with. If anyone knows of a good site to find a good selection of pics and dimensions for intake tubes and couplers let me know.
