well it was a half of one. o got it with the head in the trunk and no pistons and rods.
it had a a525 5 speed. all the bushings and ball joints brakes and suspension was all wore out the car has 200k mi on it. it stayed stock the whole time and ran around north GA it's entire life and according to carfax it only had 2 owners. it was 100% rust free. the paint was ruff though. it went a 99% body resto painted inside out with PPG base clear. wet sanded and buffed all new suspension brakes act.. it is a 99% brand new car all underneath the car was painted. it now has a fresh 2.4 turbo motor and brand new 31th 3 speed auto.

i need to take some really good detailed pics of it when it done and cleaned up, its all dusty now. plus i need to buff some more on it. it's kinda pointless to buff it perfect when your tuching it all over putting it all together.

the SLH 4, 4 wheel 11" brakes on an L body aren't that tough to bolt on right. Use the master cylinder, pro valve, rear disks and backing plates, and complete front knuckle and strut. The get a coil over and use grade 8 washers to make up the difference between the Daytona strut and the Omni strut. Some have gone and cut down Daytona springs and used them, I wanted a higher rate anyway and something nicer. I have 325 lb Eibach coils 7" long with G body Konis up front. L body rear konis with 9" rear 250 lb springs. Ground control sells the coil over kit for the L body. Sweet looking car, nice job.

i got the diagram to have a machine shop make on i don't if it can be made by had. the page i got the info for the mods for the dis. is this distributor in head info
it doesn't really tell you what to wire. i thing you have to swap the connectors more less.

if you don't want to make any thing i'm not 100% sure but i think a srt intake will clear the dis. if that helps you any. i was able to use a stock TB on it
