Thanks for the info ya'll
They dont test down here whatsoever, you can run headers with no cat duals and not think twice, did that with my 90' 5.0 crown vic.

As for all the emissions equipment, it all appears to be there but disconnected/inop, including the pump & charcoal canister.

Since I've never driven in snow, and these 81's feel a touch light in the rear, how well do they handle the snowy/icey road conditions and especially at a regular incline? Do I need to weigh it down some for a little extra traction? Its only a 2wd and never seen snow, only frost on the windshield.

Thanks for all the help and Im looking forward to my big move in a few months!
