12/08/2008 Anonymous Hey man i have an 84 SVO and i am currently converting it over to MegaSquirt i was wondering if you could contact me back cause i was having some trouble with it. my email is RideArea51@aim.com thanks a bunch if you can
06/12/2007 Anonymous nice car, i always liked SVOs
06/06/2008 Anonymous Great project plan.. I built a '91 LX 5.0 Hatchback for open track/daily driver use w/ an MM road/track kit, but sold it a in '05. If I may, I would suggest a MM torque arm. I did my build in stages, and honestly, the 4 to 3 link convesion really made a big difference in handling to reduce bind in the rear 4 link setup. I would also suggest a Pro-5.0 shifter. I've driven cars w/ a steeda tri-ax and even seen video clips and read about them breaking. I've owned a pro-5.0 and it was awesome. Good luck w/ the project!
