Default Finishing some upgrades for my 80 TA

Been working on this during my spare time for a while. Kind of excited about some of the upgrades. The old combo ran 10.6 @ 127 weighing close to 3900 lbs. with driver and a full tank of fuel.

464 was replaced by a AP 496 pump gas short block.

318 87 cc E-heads were replaced with 330 cfm 87 cc.

Ported T2 was replaced with a more ported T2

175 HP integrated nitrous lines were replaced with a Big Shot NOS spray bar

Custom 3/8 in carb spacer was added to increase plenum volume and raise the hood scoop a bit.

Same carb but different boosters. Flows around 1000 cfm.

TSI tight ten inch converter was replaced with a tight ATI 8".

GM 3:42 10 bolt was replaced with Mosier 9" housing and axles with a 3.50 gear, Strange center section and Detroit locker.

Factory drive shaft with original style Lakewood u-joints replaced with Strange driveshaft and big u-joints.

Modified factory fuel tank (stock in appearance) used with two Holley blue pumps replaced with sumped fuel tank and Magnaflow fuel pump.
