installed alu radiator and twin 12" fans with automatic thermostat on/off sensor think i ligthend the car atleast 40 lbs



and reduced my ground clerance considerably.. no speedbump roads for me any more. i tried a couple of sped bumps, and vedged the exhaust on them, had to almost brake the tiers loose to scrape the car over them.

Isn't it amazing what headers do to these old motors?

Not very practical to own 2x 2-door cupe, but never boasted about beeing practial :lol:
 
Man I love how your Pontiac sits. Look so mean.
 
A lot has happened in the years, engine rebuild, with cnc ported alu heads, roller cam,new projector headligths new fuel system with intank pump, efi with timing control, stainless steel headers, new wheels and tires +++ a true money sink.
