After the motor is done then I will probably be in need of an upgraded clutch and a new seat. I will probably take a break for a while after that. When I'm scheduled to return to the "main land" I will be looking for a built car for ST-1 or GT2. If I can't find something in my price range then I will sned my car back early and have it caged and stripped down.

What would be the price range for a ready to go car for ST-1/GT2?
- New from scratch
- Used but in good condition

Stay away from SPEC clutches, too much chatter. And buy it before the motor goes back in!!!

If you go with a one piece, use silicone. The directions on mine said to put it in dry, I did, it leaked. 2nd time around I put it in with silicone, seals.

SBCs are leak happy.

First on my list is to build a rear shock hoop on the Explorer so that I can run longer shocks. Right now I have a shock that has 9.25 inches of travel. It has 3 inches of up travel and is bottoming out 5 inches before my bump stop. I need to raise the upper mount and then install longer shocks. It should cycle 14-15inches when I'm done.

For the Cobra I need to do the brakes and figure out an electrical issue that it now has.

For the Chevelle I going to install the new windows I bought for it.

ST-1 ready to go can be anywhere between $50-80K depending on what is done. Build one yourself will be around $130k. That includes the price of the car and the upgrades. You can strip a used Z06 and cage it, then but some slicks and run it. It would be pointless though.

A GT-2 car is >$100K unless you can find a deal. You can find some cheaper RX-8s, but you will be continously fighting not to come last.

I troll the back pages of Grassroots motorsports magazine and Sportscar Magazine to see what's for sale.

I have time.

I think I will put a bass boat paint job and some gold Dayton wheels on my dads FJ40.

My Fj40 will get a new fuel tank, longer rear leaf springs and the axle moved back 5 inches. Then 37 inch tires.

The Jimmy will be getting new dual exhaust with flow masters to go behind the recently installed 383cid small block.

Is the Cobra still running rough?

Putting new gears and updating my tune should give me another 50hp
