    So far - absolutely delighted, tune in after we get it started for the first time.

    About a week or so away. Waiting on the pipes and a few "where does this friggen wire go" problems.

    I think we can leave nelson84 out of this thread. I'm sure the OP will give us details.

    The setup looks very nice.

    It looks great!!

    A crossfire engine IMHO is a work of art and when they run right, they're a pleasure....enjoy it

    Folks, thanks for looking/comments. Yeah, I'm excited. I wouldn't have any other set-up on mine. It's unique and I like that and the challenge of making it perform. Plus the name "Crossfire!" - love the way it sounds. To me a carb or TPI conversion is a cop-out hot rod. If I wanted a hot rod I'd buy a "57 Bel Air and soup it up.

    We have the car running but not tuned yet , sounds mean, but no road tests. Car under went a complete engine transplant - now has a 355 with beefed up cam & heads. So it was a bit more complicated than just a Renegade install.

    Still waiting on some parts from DCS and others. Seems like it's taking forever considering long waits on various "aspects" <----- best word I could conjure up..

    My guess is another few weeks. Rest assured (I love the press ) I'll be posting results - hopefully all good.
