So it's $1000 for the car, please elaborate on the $811 as of this month? The extra $811 back registration tax thing only applies if it goes to someone else in the state of California. Ok, thats what I was thinking...just that it doesn't mention California, or any location of the car in the ad.

Hey guys, long-time listener first-time caller here so please forgive my formatting ignorance. In regards to the bcs being bypassed or replaced with a MBC above, can I simply unplug bcs and swap with mbc? Or do I need to communicate my intent to the ECU in some way? Thank you for your help You guys...

Boy, that could come from a slew of dreamers, anywhere.

I probably won't either though...

rear of the engine? where the bellhousing mounts to the engine in the Scorpio as far as I know.
