Im not too sure but the car has like brand new everything. I deff could have done this for ~$18k if I was on a budget or planned to sell it. I think after the 8.8" IRS swap I will be somewhere around $23-25k? Honestly the rear conversion was the last expensive thing I could even really do unless I wanted to build a serious motor or something.

I have my exhaust laying next to a mustang bumper right now so my car can get acquainted with ford products haha.

I have been sick of it. But not anywhere near close enough to sell it. \<3

Let me get a tune then we can go NA to NA. I am nowhere near ready for the bottle yet.

Stuff we took apart!

EMPTY!!!

Just found out the axles won’t be here for 2-3 weeks. Looks like I have more time to enjoy longboarding and my new bike! Man I hope this is the last of the bumps in the road for the season ☹

Got the rear back and the subframe. I am probably going to put the car back together Thursday before I go on vacation. I will try to grab some pics of the swap. Should be fun.

I am going to put a spool in a road race car. Yeah sounds right. Not even an option. I am not poor and would rather keep blowing up IRS parts then go to a solid axle or spool. When I want that I will buy another f-body.
