That would be, me the fire breathing meth monster , well don't know about the monster part tho , Harv I,m heading down the E85 rack if the engine builder reckons the comp ratio is high enough to gain some hp ....gotta talk to him ....will need a new carb, everything else is right to go E85 ...... from memory its around 11 to 1 .....dynoed at around 450 hp @ 5500 rpm and climbing. the 327 revs out well ..........

Got some time to trail fit seats got a pair of EH Prem seats and the standard FB bench ....made runners for the buckets from the outside FB bench runners ( thanks Craig Allardyce ) which means pull out the buckets and the bench seat can drop straight back in again .....which seats is the question.... bench or buckets ????URL=http://s1238.photobucket.com/user/finge ... r.jpg.html]Image[/URL] Image

I think it depends on the style of the build - I like the buckets seeing as it has the shifter on the floor , if it were column shift then I would say bench .
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Tend to agree with Blacky. Either way it's great looking trim.

nah even with the shifter on the floor gotta have a bench seat, i'm looking for a late model frord bench to take the buckets out of my HR, it's a perfect fit HR runners bolt straight on with a minor mod of 1 hole on each runner and then the seat bolts directly into the original holes with a cut out for floor shift and ajustable back support and fold down arm rest :thumbsup:

8) Bench looks better once in the car
Buckets are a bit more comfy when driving though imho
But both would be comfy any way as they have been retrimed so it's a win win :thumbsup:
