Everybody has to start out in the frustration/money pit game somewhere. I'm just jealous that I couldn't start out with an FD. I had to start with a 1958 4 door Ford.

which was a good thing, bc now when you run into issues of any kind, you simply build/fabricate your own parts. Your beginnings have done you well, if you ask me!

Depending on what sanctioned racing series/league you plan on running, i would HIGHLY advise to look into the LS swap for the FD. It only weighs about 20 or so pounds more than a 13B-REW but makes 3 times the torque which makes the car FLY at corner exit speed. There's a list of why it's better, and there's a list of why it isn't, which just goes back to "removing the soul of a car" . . . answers from a buncha phaggots if you ask me. An LS would make more sense than an F22 would in an FD to boot. more useability.

that being said, I love man-flesh and still have a 13B REW in my car
