I know what your're saying foxbody , and I tend to agree with you. Here I was thinking "Cool...this this beast is finished and now when spring comes I can go raise hell!" only to find out that the D.O.T had other plans.
Yeah, I could get it street legal but that's going to involve installing cats, serpentine pulley system(so I can hook up a stupid smog pump), and find a way to install an EGR valve.
Oh, and I would need to buy a reverse flow water pump to go with that serpentine belt system....Oh boy!!....lot's of fun!!!
That's just what I wanted to do....tear down the front half of a brand new engine.....yipeeeeeeeee!!
Do you get an idea of what my mind set is right about now? Can you see why I would want to trade/sell it right about now?

I don't know...I know I just can't have a car that's useless just setting around.
I'll see what happens I guesss.
