I appreciate y'all noticing my old heap.
We bought it new in 1993, 245,000 some miles ago. With the exception of the engine and drivetrain, it's factory original.
>Show'n Tell mode ON<
I've built it to include the usual crap under the hood:
ENGINELong-block:- Stock/OEM block and crankshaft.
- O-Ringed PDR Stage-X ported head.
- A1 12mm studs.
- Hamilton 181/210 camshaft.
- Hamilton chromalloy push-rods.
- Cummins 60# valve-springs (intake and exhaust).
- Titanium valve-spring retainers with hardened keepers.
- Fluidampr harmonic damper.
- Stock/OEM crank-case breather combined with a Cummins 24 valve crank-case breather for the bulk of any blow-by gases.
- Two Case/International tractor valve-cover breathers venting to the air filter housing that act as a crude but effective PCV system at idle and light part-throttle conditions.
Aspiration:- Custom built true 100% cold air intake filter housing (The original "Stock-Pot Cold Air Intake").
- BHAF (Big Honk'in Air Filter).
- ED emergency air shut-off.
- Four inch turbocharger feed line.
- HT3B/S362 sequential turbochargers. 21cm exhaust housing on the primary turbocharger, and a 14cm waste-gated exhaust housing on the secondary turbocharger.
- Custom built Hellman after-cooler.
- Banks TwinRam charge-air intake-log feed-horn.
- ATS 3-piece exhaust manifold.
- All hot exhaust components from the head to the exhaust down-pipe are ceramic coated inside and out.
- Four inch exhaust down-pipe to just past the transfer-case where it expands to five inch back to the OEM location behind the rear axle. (optional/temporary 5" stack for race day).
- HUGE five inch high flow, VERY quiet muffler. The engine's internal sounds are louder than the exhaust.
Fueling:- Custom full AN6 & AN8 fuel plumbing.
- Custom modified OEM fuel pick-up assembly that allows full AN6 plumbing capacity and compatibility while maintaining the ability to use any level of fuel in the tank.

Drive Train:- SFI approved torque converter flex-plate.
- Custom Suncoast non lock-up torque converter.
- Custom home-built A518 transmission (OEM issue) with increased clutch/steel counts in all clutch-pacs using Alto Red clutch discs and Kolene steels. The overdrive section was upgraded to the 48RE design. 6-pinion/steel planetarys throughout. Custom home-built valve-body.
- The transmission fluid plumbing is now all AN8.
