On the cards after this is a yella terra head of some description and a carby change. As far as carbys go i have used a WW2 stromberg on this motor before but may possibly try something slightly different like a weber or a pair of single strombergs. But because of the linkage/kickdown system with the lc's i will be forced to ditch the trimatic first and upgrade to a 5sp supra/celica.
Let me know what u guys think...

The car still looks as it did when i bought it besides a reco rear bumper from rares and some fresh paint on the back drivers quarter thanks to a first week p plater who crashed into me after i had owned the car for under a month, nothing major at all just $1600's worth of scratches and cracked tail light. Cosmetically all i have done is add the wheels, give it a good polish, the select plates and lower it.
The lowering job consists Pedders sports ryder springs front and rear, sports ryder shocks in the front and comfort gas shocks in the rear, and front and rear sports ryder swaybars with norlathane bushes.
Latest addition to the car is 2 Fusion 6x9 300w 3-way speakers sitting in a 16mm mdf parcel shelf wrapped in black vinyl. This is the first car i have had any form of stereo gear in so it is a welcome change the car already had some holes cut in the rear shelf so i couldn't resist as all my othor torana's have had unbutchered parcel shelfs. Next on the list is a decent head unit as it currently only has a tape deck followed by some front speakers after ive spent some more $$$'s on the engine. I chose the Fusion gear as i got it through a mate at cost price and it didnt have the whole rice factor nearly all speakers on the market have now and just have plain black grills.

I don't know what's behind the kick panels in an LC/LJ but I'm sure there must be something decent to mount onto. If not and you're really worried, get some thick MDF and cut that into shape, seal it and paint/carpet it.

Very nice car red6! LOVE IT!Latest addition to the car is 2 Fusion 6x9 300w 3-way speakers sitting in a 16mm mdf parcel shelf wrapped in black vinyl.
Fusion speakers are good for their price but i hate the pioneer HU's cause of all their flashing lights. One question is, why put 6x9's in the rear? 6x9's go in the front, where YOU sit, the back of a coupe should just be used for 'rear fill' basically you just have bass in the back and a decent pair of splits or two ways in the front. 3-ways are a bit overkill as well. Just a suggestion.
Like heath said, make some custom kick panels and have the speakers facing at an angle towards the opposite occupant (i.e driver side kicks facing passenger etc.).
Cheers

Heath- Besides the ignition set up this engine is is stock except for the cam and the steel crank it has because it is an early prefix 186.
Next on the list for the car is some minor rust repairs, adding some 4" Fusion 2 way's to the front and building some new kick panels. Longer term goals are a celica/supra 5 sp, lsd, and either twin strombergs or the WW2 which i own.
thanks for the comments guys...
