Both titles have been resolved.

The black car's title is in the mail, and they grey car's title will be in my possession Monday.

WIN!

Thread back on track. Sadly, because of the delay in getting these squared away, no further work has been done on them. As such, I do NOT feel safe/comfortable driving the 84 to DGRR. And I don't have anymore time to wrench on them.

So, I'll either be there in the Swagger Wagon, or hitch a ride.

Picked up some more goodies.

New inside door panels, new door pull cups, new driver side interior door handle, hatch seal, sunroof seal, rear cargo light with carpet.

Still looking for an upgraded radiator, Taurus fan, fan controller, and some other small items here and there. Now I just have to put it all together.

Well, nobody brought me a sunroof to DGRR, so I am stuck with a rusted steel roof until I find something. Fail.

I know you have a good steel one, but I was really hoping to snag a glass one.

Oh well...

I have decided to boost this little 12a until it blows. I am getting an S4 turbo and manifold, and fabricate a 12a-->13b adapter for the exhaust. I already have an RE-Speed pedestal for oil supply, and will tap the front cover for return.

I have another thread asking what it takes to boost prep an RB Holley, so far with no useful responses. The Holley Blue pump I have is enough, but I am either going to need a rising rate FPR, or modify the Holley FPR I already have. A local guy has a turbo hat for the carb (assuming we can use the Holley).

Question: where should I source the coolant feed/return for the turbo on the 12a block?
