It would be sweet to have endless tires, my tires on my stang are bald and flat from sitting, so I'll have to get some when I get it ready to drive. The only thing I'd still like to do this year to my van is build up the rear, it still has the factory open differential/2.somtehing gears so it usually does a mean one-wheel burnout. When it does do a 2 wheel it gets some bayad wheel hop once it goes into 2nd. Other than that, I just want to get my van solid so I can start figuring out what I want to do with my 86 GT. I'll probably look for a used T-5 for now, and I have a 429 in the machine shop but I don't know if I want to mess with using it. I don't really want to go through the trouble of swapping everything for just a mild big block, and if I build it up w/514 stroker kit/aluminum heads,etc., I wouldn't trust the stock block, so I think I may try to build a good small block and eventuall go with a procharger or turbo setup.
