Liking the console, but then I'm partial because I had one. It would be the first interior upgrade I would recommend.

I personally want to chop up up my 60/40 seat and just install the console. I read where someone did it and there is a factory separation point to take the middle 20 out of the 60 side
Do they make a passenger seat with integrated seat belt? Id also have to take my amp into consideration since its all wired up and under my middle 20.

And here's what I'm looking at
My balancing cost 250,boring was 35 dollars a hole, And i think hot tanking was 125 (but he tanked it twice, and once in something else.)

And i'll never buy another set of press fit rods.

For the expy's in our generation, I don't think so. Integrated seatbelts were on the f series only

I'm not but I just took down some numbers. I should have taken a picture of the price list sheet because some of the misc small charges were really inflated. I think I found a shop to do it too. This place suggested an electrical company that the owner builds race engines in the back as a hobby. They send all the high dollar work to him and he is suppose to be pretty reasonable

balancing - 250.00 (should been cheaper but oh well)

Your balancing will be a toss up, if they have to add weight, it get exspensive.


Just ordered SFI rated balancer,some ARP bolts for balancer,timing pointer

not good. I have 3rd degree burns all down my left hand from hitting it on some hot rivets. I have the worst luck ever.
