bolt in sub frame is a "must do" the originals were welded in. No fun if you have to yank an engine

Hmm, i like progress

Can the stock tank mount in a lower position so you don't have fuel sloshing around that high in the car? I like the progress so far!1986 Comp Prep SVO Mustang(1 of 83) Four cylinder turbo! (Think first Fox body "R" model!)
