That's funny but I have two specific mottoes that have guided me.
1. Sua Sponte (Ranger motto: "of their own accord")
2. "Chance favors the prepared mind", Louis Pastuer. It kept me alive in combat even under the most insane situations.
Peter transfer the pics you posted earlier that I sent you over to this thread. The studs are cool. As I understand are normally threaded 25 mm into the case and these go 40 mm.
Regarding the project, this is all being done/handled by extremely capable and qualified local individuals. No outside tuner or engine builders.
It actually will not be 90 days before completion.
The engine will be fully built by tomorrow then will be engine dyno broken-in.
The gear chart has been decided and Guard is restacking the entire gearbox and did the LSD. Keeping the stock 3.44
Ohlins (4 way) are soon to arrive.
Still working on a smathering of light weight body parts but truly to not want to mix up the RS. True bottomline desire is to keep it era specific and a "sleeper".
All the insulation stuffing was removed and the carpeting placed back. Looks stock again.
More to come.

Sir we will see. Absolute no claims or bragging here sir, not my style. Never pretentious, just the facts. I have driven competitively in the 90's (SCCA & IMSA) but now am an old warhorse at 62 so am not as fast 
Hopes/plans are after initial track shakedown are to take a 3.8 RS, 4.0 RS and my RS to Sebring with Lucas Luhr as the shoe to do a comparison.
Am discussing this with Champion Motorsport to get this accomplished.
We will see.

Will get pics of the interior when completed but the carpeting went back in looking OEM. Total of 20 lbs of sound deadening material was removed.
I guess I could have dieted
and gotten in better shape.Ranger (Sua Sponte)
