Thanks man! These were made from 83-87. The first widebody was made in 86. All the race widebody versions were actually narrowbody chassis with widebody quarters and fenders affixed. Also the narrowbody weren't intercooled, mine was swapped in. Also mine had gone from roasting in Las Vegas sun, to restored in 2007(full rear quarter replaced) to parts car which was then put back together guy couldn't get it to run sold it to my friend and turns out it was a unhooked fuel pump to me.

So this is where I'm at mostly right now:

Picked up some D2 Coils and stainless brake lines. Also rear camber plates

Installed the Aeromotive a1000 with pre and post filters. Also after dropping the tank I learned why my car would always reek like gas after a full tank or if parked in a garage. Out of the 5 bolts holding the pickup tube to the tank only 2 were still there.

Also started prepping another subframe to go in along with new poly bushes.

Picked up a party mode switch to use as a low boost/high boost switch, bee-r rev limiter (good bye stock ceramic turbo),Tomei elbow and did the timing components.
