Its a supra pillar pod modified and just plain ole autometer pods on the steering wheel. Not really my taste but gets the job done.

Here is the car fired up and running today. Nice and lopey

Funny the looks I got today, a lex is not supposed to sound like this...

6spd swaps with complete builds are not cheap

Add in big boy stuff like a tilton/intake/gt47 then you are above 30-40k
