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 .

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:

Great work Bill. It looks great either way. My pick would be the buckets though. :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:
