Yeah, Dave! You won't be able to run away from me anymore! From a start you always left me in the dust!

Geez...it always sounded like a good motor and ran like one. Join the club on the major projects 


I know it always seemed pretty stong, But Lew said when it went, it would go with a BANG! Besides, your's will be like new when you get done with it! Is your tranny in yet????? When are you starting on the rear suspension?

Stopped by Lew's today and got to hear the engine run! They don't have it timed or the carb adjusted but it sounds great! You should see how he has all the pulleys in PERFECT alignment. The belts run so smooth you can hardly tell they're moving! I have to change to an electric choke because the later model aluminum intake doesn't have the passage for the choke. He said the electric ones kick off faster, anyway. It just looks so cool all painted up and new looking! I can't wait until the shows! Oh, he also sandblasted and painted the exhaust manifolds. I'm also changing to the true dual exhaust because the current pipes would choke the engine. I'm keeping the same mufflers and tailpipes, though (I like them). Man, except for all the money, this is heaven!
