an old friend of mines had one with a 12A. it was a fun car to drive. another friend is contemplating the idea also. if your good at welding/making things you should have no problem. it cant be any harder than the project going on at my house.

Buddy and I did one with TII motor. One thing though vibrates like crazy in third gear. I think the angle of the drive train is not constant so therefore we have to come up with a way of dropping the motor a little more either by making a custom oil pan or by custom front crossmember. The car has been parked since late spring 2002 and I think he wants to sell it. It's a '86 SR5 with Ground control coilovers in the front, mustang 5.0 rear,TRD rear springs, Addco F/R swaybars and custom ladder bars. The car is very clean. I'll post some pics as soon the weather improves and I can get over there to take them.

I dont know any sites.....but I have seen one in person. Before I seen the motor, he tried to race me on 8th street and 107ave lol. he thought he was big and bad with a streetported 12a in his 86 sr5. I have to admit his car sounds very nice and moves nice. He told me he had a streetported 12a, headers, msd 6a, etc...I told him mine has some headers and a good clutch lol. Light turns green and I spike to 14lbs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif in my Gsl-se lol that was a good moment.
