the mailman was good to me today. i got a mopar performance nos quick ratio manual rack, from moparts member magnum. was a super easy transaction, and he's a great member to deal with. will do the suspension and remove the power steering and do the rack when i get back home. this should shed about 12 pounds or so from under the hood, and i prefer the manual stuff anyways, with more of an actual feel of driving.

if i can get all the stuff, i'm thinking of a 5 speed as well, and getting rid of the 4 speed o/d automatic. 390" stroker roller replaces the anemic 318, and some hooker super comp 5803 headers will go in. haven't decided on intake/carb yet, but i'm considering a six pack setup. pics when i get it apart.
