      Love the interior. I had an '80 XR-7 with the Bittersweet Recaro interior.

      Nice clean build.

      Wow that looks just awesome !! Great job !!

      Looks like quite a project. Good to know the coyote fits in the early foxes (with a lot of new parts and $$ I assume). Maybe someday I'll drop one in my 80 lol.

      I was curious what you used for a control pack and if you were you able to just interface the wiring and use the original ignition switch (key) etc ?

      I just have to ask, what's it like doubling the horsepower??

      Super clean build, great job! But you knew that lol. I see the relocated P/S reservoir. Would love to see more details if possible.
