i have a head with hd springs in and a schnieder 284h cam.  with the stock hyd lifters will this be ok or am i wasting me time. if its gona be a bad idea i will just go back to stock cam for now.

Any tips or hints on where/how to punch through the core support for this bad boy?  The wiring harness makes me nervous and I haven't bought a battery yet (MT-26 8") so I'm hesitant to wing it.     PS:  I just finished my passenger side hardpipe and also manifold install, quickee gallery here:   http://home.comcast.net/~kevin_connell/mpi/page0.html

do the 83 hoods mount up directly in place of an 87 and not look funny or is there work involed in that?Thanks.

Real nice guy. I bought an '83 bumper, b-pillar vents and turn signals from him. He gave an honest description, clear pics and very good price on the items. He was very patient as I had to reschedule when I was picking up the items a couple of times. I would definitely do business with him again. Thanks Johnny!   ~Marc
