Sandman, have any pics? Start a thread in Off-Topic so we can see

The suspension is a front coilover setup replacing the 4X4 torsion bars and shocks and the rear is a 4-link with coilovers replacing the factory leaf springs and shocks. She handles awesome, and with the 4 wheel Baer brake upgrade makes a hell of a driver.

Cool, but ya need to get the SY on the track once you get it complete and tell us about it.

Here is a link to some pics of the SY I had. Again it was bonestock daily driver with 118,000 miles.

Here are pics of my GN and SY. This site was never completed meaning there are some links that don't go anywhere.

I do plan on making a few passes after she's done. The motor will be tested and tuned on an engine dyno prior to installing it on the truck, so there won't be too much track tuning needed.

what i drive
I drive a 92 Eldorado with the 4.9L it has 70k miles. It is diamond white with tan interior. I have done no real big mods. I really want to put an air intake, exhaust, headers, and anything else that would be a big HP gain
