82 GT · 04-19-2001, 09:57 PM

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was thinking about trading my Alpine system for an '89 4 cyl coupe so that I could swap the engine/tranny/exhaust from my '82GT.
I decided that I am going to trade the guy and begin a new project!!
I am thinking that the coupe will be lighter thus quicker than the GT body.
I am also going to eliminate every extra pound of weight that I can.
I estimated that my GT would have ran high 13's and I am looking for low 13's with just a chassis swap and weight trimming.
Do you think that is possible or will I still need more engine mods for low 13's?

'82 GT 351W C-4,BBK headers,Carter 625 carb,Comp.Cam,Flowmaster exhaust.
