My version of a sleeper Esprit.
Here's my 73,522 mile 1974 Esprit, I'm making some changes to. 350 2bbl is gone along with the th350, replacing it with a 455 (463) that has Fitech fuel injection and the ram air induction system air cleaner and functional Formula hood. The transmission is a 4l80e. In the rear is a 8.5 10 bolt with 3.42 gears on a Detroit Tru Trac differential spinning Moser 30 spline axles. The tubes have been welded to the center section. The rear end is sitting on Global West cat5 springs. I've also installed Global West subframe connectors. I still need to get Global West extended travel front coil over front suspension set up. The exhaust is handled by Pypes Ram Air reproduction manifolds and their stainless steel transverse muffler setup with electric cutouts. It will be riding on Year One 17" Honeycomb wheels. I've included some pictures of which the last one is of the original owner the day I purchased it from him in Kennewick Washington.
