My engine is the truck engine so it has a cast iron block and 9.6:1 compression. It comes from the factory with L92 aluminum heads and I added all the corvette intake, fuel injectors, fuel rails, and corvette alternator, power steering pump, and I put in a 97 remanufactured Jeep grand cherokee steering box. Cool thing about the steering box is it bolts right up and features a 12.7 ratio which is faster then the stock gto one. Since that box is metric I used corvette pressure lines and that all went together real nice as well without having to make custom lines for standard to metric.

I just did the GC steering box in mine this spring (used a 1980 Camaro hose for the high side and use the stock 1966 pump with a newer valve in it to attach the metric hose). Definately a worthwile conversion. If you check my project thread in my sig, you will see all the suspension improvements I made recently. My car is a much better car to drive now with the changes. Next is the motor (I keep saying this, but I think I may finally pull the trigger this winter). I got a 428 and now a stock 455 to build. I think I am going to do a stock rebuild on the 455 with a mild cam for now.

My 389 is very tired. I will pull it and stick it in the corner for possible future use.
