Thanks! Yes, it is Mike.

Aside from driving my 2012 GT and racing it from time to time, my main project is my 1981 Fairmont wagon. This car was originally built in Texas by Forrest Nearing. I bought it back in 2000, but sold it right before 9/11. I was able to get it back last summer from Ben, the guy I sold it to. It came back a little worse for wear, so I put it in paint. I just got it out.

Here it is:

It has a mild 302 in it with ported GT40 irons, an FMS B 303, Stealth, 650 DP and longtubes. Car is very light, and gutted. Has a tubular K and a built 8.8 with 4.30s. Also has a T-5, which I grenaded the day after I got it home.  :clap: So, I am looking to upgrade the driveline as it is my goal to run 10's in this car. When I had it last it ran mid 12's with McCreary dirt track tires and granny shifts. It has always been a blast to drive though!

Very cool car Mike.  I like where you are going with this project.  I have a face plated T5 in my 10 second ride.  I think you would love one in the Fairmont.

Yeah, that would be my top choice for this.

Oh, BTW, my screen name is my name. It is just easier to remember than other names I have used. LOL.
