finished up the ventura and put it back on the road today

so we picked her up this afternoon after picking up my new fairmont, to get the old girl running again...
ok after a short vacation, parked the ventura for a while, took the s475 for don's notch wich is what its primary use was for, and we stole some parts to finish the notch and my fairmont, and the oil pan was cracked and leaking...
we gave an oil pan to ackerman who did an AMAZING job shortening the oil pan.
top notch work from teh whack shack...
we bolted up the blown up mpt76 from coreys turbo truck with the hammered exhaust blades, welded a fitting almost shut for oil restriction... made a nice oil return line, drilled and tapped the new cut pan for oil return. connected the intercooler, welded up a new downpipe... WELDED BY CHRIS LEE RACING!
and threw in the 80lb injectors, fired her first time no issue, idled away, finished her up checked for leaks, removed a little oil from the car, overfilled a little with the smaller pan, and viola.
i took her out and drove to the gas station, man i missed this car.
