A little history on the car, it use to be redrum123's car. The one that threw out the flywheel during a pull. I am the 3rd owner since then. It has yet to run but has had lots of work done to it. As it sits rite now its just a shell , no interior, motor, trans, suspension or wiring. Just has a roll cage, fuel cell and a auto rear end in it. I have a lot of work to do to it but it won't take me long. My plans are to finish the awd system, make it 5speed (untill I rebuild the auto trans I have) , take motor and turbo set up from my talon and put it in the colt. So far I have Built head with BC springs,272 cams Eagle/Ross 9.0:1 motor Jmf smim FP 3065 BB turbo. Fmic set up. Stock 5speed trans with vce installed so I can fwd on dyno. Act 2900 clutch Fidanza fw Fic 1150 injectors Fpr Gm maf Parts I need Ecm link Fuel system for fuel cell And find the rite front axles ( which I'm still unclear about) Drive shaft. Pics as it sits.

I hope you know you cannot use that rearend with a 5 spd trans.. they are different gearing between 5 spd and autos. but other than that very nice start..and good project. Steve

Steve I knew that already but thank you. Taking the motor out of the talon. Geting closer to being in the colt. Woot. Motor and trans should be on tomarow.

I highly do not recommend a 1pc shaft. Do a 2pc
