It was just a matter of time. :p

Have you considered getting a different motor, and tweaking that? Pull the original out, and tuck it in a corner of the shop..

Post by: gbsean on July 16 2012, 08:58:16 PM: the car is fun to drive as is...it does need some tuning and I need to get rid of the points...have lined up a bunch of v8 buddies to give me a tune at BPg and I will take if from there...it is not a race car...i would like to swap in a posi rear but with current trans and switch pitch converter it will not break tires loose...so if anything a trans an converter swap is in order...but then you take away from the original aspect of the car...I do not think a suspension upgrade takes away from the originality of the car...but then,,,who knows...
