OK.
#1. I hate this car, but I've been hanging on to it for the 5.0/AOD. Project material.
#2. You're right, Frank. Even with the mfi manifold, there's some distribution issues with the lower manifold, especially ports #1 and 5.
#3. Yeah, I KNOW what a cold engine does. But it's supposed to be 47* on Saturday, and I won't be driving it very much, if at all, until then. And the temp gauge I ordered won't be in until then anyway.
#4. Found a set of 235/75-15 tires out back. 2" taller. Only 7% larger, but it's a start. I have a drawer full of those spring clamps, so I can play with lowering it without actually cutting the springs, so I'm planning on seeing what dropping it back down 2" will do to ride quality and ground clearance. Yes, that's an inch lower than the car sits now.
#5. I have some scrap ABS around here somewhere. Wheel discs!
#6. Yes, grill block and heaadlight covers. But low key.
#7. No, I can't strip the car. TOWMBO would have a cow.
