hey guys. i thought i would share this video of a members car at bakersfield last week. YouTube - Video 291

so 1 year and 7 thousand miles later, i started getting bored with the slant. so the obvious thing to do is a V8 swap right? WRONG! haha with the help of a friend i will be mounting a b&m 144 blower on my slant. i will also be building another head and swaping out my cam. i am only planning on...

i would love to be able to buy this for my slant. paint and bodywork could wait, but at 1600 for the blower and who knows how much for the intake, it will have to wait. what a sweet setup though. it sure would be awsome to have a scoop sticking out of the hood right in front of your face hehe.

hey guys. i puchased my intake at a swap meet. when i got it there was a bolt in the side of it. i dont know what it is used for, so i just put a gasket on it and tightened it up. i wanted to put a pipe plug in it but couldnt find one. i believe is a 7/16 bolt and all i see anywhere are 3/8 and...

hey guys. so i have put about 40 miles on my new engine. i had it to where it would idle while i was sitting at lights and was running pretty decent. but yesterday it would want to die when i pulled up to a stop. and i noticed it surging when i was driving about 25 mph, so i figured i better...
