Very nice - I do look forward to it - I'm a long way from that with so many other things on the plate, but I trust the Comet and I are in it together for the long haul so looking forward to your build! Any key factors that lead to the change in plans, TCi vs Heidt?

Both versions are very nice,but the tci had an advantage because it came with the BBF motor mount pads and also had a special with upgrades like a free power rack. You will have to go to a rear sump pan. This kit will lower the front about 1 1/2 ". Total cost with upgrades to coils and shocks was $ 3497 with free shpg.
