Since my 92 Pancho Weaver Trans Am spec race car benefits from the help of a race engineer and a great mechanic this time I got to drop it off partially disassembled.
Minus front brakes and transmission and let them fix it.

Fresh 18 degree 750hp engine install, remove muffler install straight pipe.
Replace the Weismann transmission with a G force GSR transmission with a custom input shaft.
Since my current steel driveshaft likely will not fit with the new GSR decided to upgrade to a carbon fiber driveshaft.
Lighter good for 6 to 8 hp more to the tires, and safer compared to having a steel driveshaft fail and cause expensive damage to the car or me.
Also my current aluminum 3rd member housing with a locker will become a spare.
Instead we will use a lightened steel 3rd member for strength and a torsen gleason differential.
The torsen gleason is smoother and easier to drive on gas exiting corners compared to the harshness of the locker.
Install new Alcon 6 piston front calipers, new hubs and rotors too.
Install new Gold heat barrier firewall material.
New oil filters and breathers and the swedged PTFE Dry sump oil lines (3 lines, 1 inch in diameter that run from the engine to the 5 gallon oil tank near the right rear tire, 2 lines for scavenging 1 line to deliver oil to the engine).
