    It's nice when you hit a milestone like that in such a project!
    Now it is just all that little stuff to chip away at.
    Way to go!

    Thanks guys! It definitely has little bugs to chip away at. Trip nav decided to smolder itself to death, right side headlights are super dim (guessing ground issue), headlight doors stopped working again, still needs alignment. But, it was nice to drive it again before the passing of another year.

    Any updates? It sounds like you are using the stock TIII SBEC?

    I have a 2.5L TIII I built for my '91 Spirit R/T. I plan to get it running this summer and break-in on the stock SBEC....but after that I would love to get a properly calibrated TIII SBEC for the 2.5L. Not sure where to go for that these days.

    Awesome, glad to see someone is working on their stuff, mine is still sitting. Good news is, Pantina is getting really good now, lol.

    How many people have put together a 2.5 TIII which improves it over a 2.2?

    Only a few have built them, I'd call mine a success, if I would stop meddling with it,
