ok upon inspection,
And after stripping it down, think it was unused when it got the chassis swap .
the trans is smooth and shows no wear on the out drives, brake disk is oem and unworn.
nice pile of hop ups !i think the tecna buckels are late , as they are alot thicker in the shaft compared to my green T buckles .
So they will be swapped to my runner :wink:
The rpm bulkhead was a nice surprise as i just got another nip .
new A/L cranks the ones with the mega thick bar .
the motor was full of fuel so i figure hydro-lock after a clean up looks in great condition ,tight and with good compression plus with the MIP pipe ,hitec servo think i like recycling LOL

You may want to clean up that original manifold or you'll juice your servo and bellcrank with fuel and oil. You might be able to re-direct the exhaust out the side, but I'm not sure it wouldn't change performance. Great GT though! 8)

+1 on both counts. Thr truck looks great but that could get messy/expensive real fast.
