    I was thinking back and forth if i should use the Standalone harness + flashed PCM or go Terminator X max.
    Since i had such a great experience with the Holley mounts i decided i save some $ and bite the bullet for the Terminator X max system, just because of ease of use and tunability.

    Got some work done.
    Installed a B&M Quicksilver shifter, I like it.
    A forum member helped me source 70 headlight bezels and the hood/grill trim. I refurbished/painted & installed the parts.

    I took the drag setup rear coils and shocks out for more street friendly BMRs and KYBs.
    20201106_192222.jpg
    And I finished the exhaust X pipe setup.
    I reused the flowmaster mufflers that where on it before and recycled a bunch of the tubing + a summit 3" x pipe kit to shape this...
    20201105_154205.jpg
    Came out decent and sounds good.

    Its tight its very tucked away its above the frame "line" so you cannot see the exhaust at all the engine crossmember is the lowest point kinda.
    the mufflers are all up there ... i also thought about servicing the exhaust thats why i decided i keep the clamps pointed down, for access

    Hey do you have any picks looking into the hood scoop? Im trying to see how the intake lines up under there. Nice build!

    it sits under the hood.. so no clearance issues, i can take a picture, its pretty centered. i placed the hood scoop in the Orig meassument position. and cut out the center section only so i keep the structure of the hood.

    Good deal. I have this mod noted for the future upgrades and always wondered how easy it would be to make this setup functional lol.

    Got my new injectors from SNAKE EATER today 1000cc 96lb/hr. Should take me a long way ...
    Done some tuning and "learning" runs much better already.

    Good work and good looking car! I’m planning on a 6.0 swap at some point and had a quick question on the Holley pan, it’s got great ground clearance but do you think you needed the extra clearance over the crossmember of the 302-3 pan over the 302-2? They both say they’ll fit a bodies but looks like a bit more capacity with the -2
