A few more pics, the interior still has the Momo fitment, I have grown to like it but have acquired the parts to restore it. I did not do the short throw shifter. However it has brass bushings and it took me a lot of trial and error to get it dialed in but was worth the work.
I rebuilt the rear suspension and rebuilt the exaust.
A previous owner had worked the car over as a show car. He had installed the nice racing muffler just for looks. I fixed that up and got rid of that poorly installed cat in favor of the resonator.
Here's a pic of the engine, big, know known as Evo headers, insulated fuel lines to the injectors, ECE timing knob by the x11 port just a few of the differences from the 2.3.
And under the valve cover the double row timing chain and camshafts. There are also duplex springs on the valves.
The internals are so stout compared to the 2.3, something I think about when I am flogging my 85 track car.
