Turning my quest into a dsm.

Sweet, I'd like to see this thing run again. I'm remembering back to the days of Tuesday 'bees and *edit*.

cars looking good man, im excited to see it sometime

I agree with andrew, nothing like the good ole days, apart from the fact we are all a little bit about the 200whp we were at back then.

Lookin good man. So what do you need left parts wise?

Luvin the log mani as well :)

[FattyBoomBatty]

I think other than just the thermostat, I don't really need anything else. New back tires, I suppose, but these hold air, amazingly, since there's really nothing left on them and when you take them off and stand them up on their own, they lean because of negative camber and burnouts, haha.


the log manifold is great, it will last forever, and a dude in california made 570whp on a jet with it, so I don't mind.

Which short block are you using? Is this the old Napa rebuild I remember?

[FattyBoomBatty]

Yes, Hypereueutudhciciitic pistons, stock rods, .030 over, crank and rods .010 under. Balanced with pulley, flywheel and clutch on (which I think is stupid, because when I upgrade it will not be in balance).

I'm very scared for your shortblock dude.

You can dynamically balance those components individually. I had my ACT flywheel and clutch cover balanced by Gosh for a small fee. Its amazing how out of balance a brand new parts can be.

^Good info.
Would it be good then to balance say a stock flywheel and aftermarket clutch together?
