    89 Daytona Shelby Build

    Here is my new 89 daytona. It is radiant silver with t-tops, and was a t-II, 5 spd car. It will be on the recieving end of my 2.5 with forged pistons.





    My car and Trevor404s van, both waiting for their new motors.

    Nice detail work on the motor, looking good. Do yourself a favor though, ditch those factory Torx crank pully bolts now and throw some oil pan bolts in from a J-yard motor. They'll only frustrate you sometime down the road. More pics as you make progress

    Nice Car, guess the canadian 89's didn't get airbags? cause my 88 has an airbag. Silver 89 has got to be rare.

    Hmm, dont know about the airbag. My buddies 89 spirit es and my brothers 89 caravan dont have them either. And ya I know silver was rare for american cars so I figure its got to be really rare for the chrysler version.

    That is a rare thing. Only extremely late build 88's had airbags, and I think even they were an extra cost option.

    AA bodys didnt get an airbag until 90, Minivans got theirs in 91.

    Re: 89 Daytona Shelby Build

    It was actually pretty easy. I just had to make sure that the tranny was angled down enough to get under its mount, then I used a piece of plywood on the passenger side for the pulleys to slide down on. Still helps to have 2 people though.
