Pictures of my 86 XR7

It has been a while since I have posted, but I have a majority of my 86 XR7 complete.  Thanks to everyone from this board and from Tubotbird.com that have helped along the way.

Right now the car is stock except for a 255 lph HP fuel pump, K&N air filter, Ported upper and lower intake, and ported exhaust.  I have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and intercooler that will be going on soon hopefully.  Future plans will be a 5-speed swap and a dual stage boost controller.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for the comments.

Darkthunder - To tell you the truth I have no clue if the mods I have done right now have helped or not.  I only drove the car a couple of times before I took it apart.  When I bought the car I had many problems with it, but I picked it up for $500.  When I took the motor out to have the head rebuilt I found out the head was cracked and searched for a year for a new head before I finally found someone that would fix mine.  I think when I put the intercooler in, up the boost and swap in the 5-speed is when I will finally see a big difference.
