LMFAO Bill !!! Then I'll just get a fiberglass one and lighten the badd boy up !!!I'm waiting to see what the final numbers come in at,hopefully this week !! Hopefully I'll be hooking up with Frank towards the middle/end of this week in Ocala to pick up the head he's got for me !!! THEN,I'll be better off on my decision !! One set up I've always had a fascination with is the STS Turbo ! I know it works in numerous other applications,I may just have to dig a little further !!

I tried for weeks, to find a supplier that offered a fiberglass front bumper for our car, with no success. This steel one weighs a ton, even with the center (intercooler) section removed. We have a look-alike (sort of) lightweight plastic split bumper that we have thought about using. It probably won't look much like the original, but the whole thing weighs probably, 2 pounds... I like the front bumper on Mark's
Mad Max car.... I think it's actually a back bumper cover off a Pacifica... It's LIGHT; that's the important thing.
It'll (the plastic one) probably end up on the car, since form follows function on this ol' tub... Of we were interested in cosmetics, it would be a 2-door...
That STS deal looks like a good way to go; no cramped engine compartment... On a street car, it may exhibit some turbo-lag, but probably not much. On a race car, that wouldn't be a problem.
The price ($1,995.00) for a universal kit is really cheap, I think. It's not a comprehensive kit, but still, it covers most of the expensive stuff you'd have to buy, otherwise.
I like it! :blob:
We took delivery of some stronger, aftermarket axles (Yukon,) this week and are working on getting them installed in the B-body 8.75" rear we have in the car.
And, the fuel line and return line are routed, and the filters and pump installed.
Now, the wiring... sigh...
It's always something....:banghead:
Oh, and thanks for the kind words RE: the bumper end-caps. It really needed something there...
