Well I've had this car (my 7th teener, I think) for about eleven years ago. It was my daily driver for a couple of years. Then I made it into a track car. I had wanted to do a six conversion, but bought a house instead. Then I joined up with you guys and my car didn't run again until today. I'm just finishing my rebuild with a 2.5 liter twin plug six.
I just took it out for a ride and Holy S... what a great machine. It was worth the time and $. I just wish our A/X Sunday hadn't been cancelled.
Now it needs to back to the body shop for a couple of minor things, then I can put the graphics on and look in the rearview mirror at my competition.

The folks at the airpost are paving the taxi strip that we use. We have our fingers crossed that they are going to pave the entire width of it. If not we got a big ass hump to drive over.

We absolutely need all the details !

Which pistons and cylinders ?
What compression ratio ?
Induction details ? detail on the carbs etc . . .
Head details: port and valve sizes
Which cam?
Air filter ?
Exhaust (although we can see some of it ) ?
Crankshaft ? counterwheighted (sp?) or not ?
tranny ?
Rods ?
How is twin plug done ?
Which engine cases ?

The reason being: I have a 2.2 E MFI in my car, counterweighted crank and 5R case. I also have steel flares waiting to be welded on, and a short stroke 2.5 is an engine I've been seriously thinking about.

Fabulous that you've achieved this !

Boy, I would really like to thank all those that congratulated me on this project. It was ALMOST as good as that 1st drive. ALMOST, cause nothing beats driving my teener. Thanks everybody, you guys are the best.
