Let's get this slant turbo project started. 71 Dart
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the advice.
Pardon my ignorance on this. I presume I need to have a machine shop replace the valve seats for unleaded gas and to make them larger to accomodate the valves?
No, I like your place. House looks new, well maintained, nice flat ground, big driveway!
My place in vallejo is a bit run down, older place. Someone did pave the entire front of the property so there is Plenty of places to work on a car. The rest of my slice of land is on a slant so the back yard is not much for landscaping. The previous owner was trying to address this by filling it with concrete chunks so little chance of a lawn back there with out several truckloads of soil.

No apology necessary, Mike; I am VERY ignorant of the valve seat question/answer and would suggest that you go ask S&S in San Leandro what needs to be done in your case. Tell them what you are doing. Rick Santos is the go-to guy there, or was when I lived there. He always treated me right.
Leaving California was easy for ME in 2004 as I turned 65, was retiring, going on Social Security, and the company I worked for was desparately trying to pare-down their workforce by offering "buyouts" to full-time employees, of which I was one. It all came together in the one time in my life when timing was critical. Only piece of good luck I ever had! You can believe that!!!
The house I bought was in construction (nearing completion) and was in my price range, so I bought it. Now that my wife has had a severe stroke and is in a nursing facility full-time, permanently, I just rattle around in it. :(
I will likely sell it and move into an apartment in the next year or two.
The turbo slant six is at my partner's house, 35 miles away, in Little Rock, so that's not a problem.
I cannot WAIT for the good weather so we can FINALLY put that puppy on the strip and get some baseline times.
At only 10 pounds of boost, it won't set the world on fire, but we'd like to see something in the low 13's... at least!
Talk is cheap; we'll see!!:prayer::prayer::prayer:
Keep on keepin' on!!!:glasses7:
