I was gonna say you lit it up for revenge. Making sure Sab wasn't around. Don't want him burning again.
Lsjuan conversion looks like it's taking shape nicely.

believe or not it has almost 360,000 k's on it and still runs really nice. its leaking from everywhere but purrs like a kitten, not even a timing chain noise. ive still got another vp with a 6 banger in it, couldnt hurt to have it around in just case...

Depends on your plans for it and road trip distance, but pretty much

decided to try and cannibalize the v6 buick throttle bracket. i used the kick down cable mount hole for the cruise control (same size). then copied the throttle hole on the right to have it right next to the cruise.
there isnt much play in the cables but it TB snaps back to home position with no tension on it, so i think were good. might get ari to weld the 2 together at some point.
