Thanks. Yes that's a Futura. It was my driver for 25 years and now it just gets driven for fun.

You've got some nice rides there. It's been a while since I've seen a Fairmont that is in that nice of shape. I really like the blacked out trim on it.

Thanks. I've got a nice 514 for it if I ever get off my lazy butt to do it. Right now it has an injected 5.0 with a t-56 six speed transmission.

Are you keeping it a 6spd when you swap in the big block? A 514 powered Fairmont sounds like one hell of a fun ride!!

Yeah. The six speed will be that more fun. The input shaft will be my weak link in the drivetrain. If I break it I'll have to go to the Viper T-56 stuff. I'm betting it won't hook up enough to break it for a while.
