Well been a while since I posted any updates, so I figured I would do so while I have a few moments! The 83 is sitting in the shop on Jackstands getting shaved and Bd'ed! Someone offered me a deal I couldn't pass up on the Mitsubishi that I was gonna put in it so needless to say I gotta think of something else for a motor swap and IRS! So for now I pulled the "Stock" out and rebuilt it, painted the block and polished up what I could! Gonna order a Weber and Pacesetter and run that for a while! The front bumper is pretty beat so I have decided to completely do away with it as well and do some crazy shit to the front end in it's place! (Will post pictures if all goes well with that! lol!!!! I do have a question maybe you guys could help me with! Would it be possible to bag( and lay out the front by modifying the spring pockets), or would it be better to just do away with them all together and use torsion brackets??? I notched the spring cups just to see if it would lay out and it does, and it does it hard lol, but just curious! Any help would be appreciated! I will have some update pictures Asap! Here is the link to my Photobucket album! a few new pics but they were before I put it in my shop and tore it apart! Will hopefully have some better pics of the progress soon!

I was going to say, that pacesetter header. Will not work on our mazdas. A lot of sites say they will work but it won't there for the 86-93. I have looked every were for a header and nothing.

If you need any help, shoot me a pm. It's easier for me to answer questions through that than dig through some threads.

Yeah a guy who owns a parts yard was looking for a pre motor and tranny and it just so happened he had a yota parts truck that I wanted, and long story short we traded...lol.... got the pre stripped and should be cutting out the clip and swapping in the yota stuff... still gotta pick up a tranny for the 302, but they arent hard to find! Should be hot when I get her together, and yes guys I have tons of pics, just need the time to upload them up here!
