Here are some pictures of my project. Estimated time of completion => unknown!
School starts in another month, and that will slow things down to a crawl. I'm hoping, realistically, that next summer she'll be on the road! Enjoy! The link will take you to more photos. http://picasaweb.google.com/11498801220036...feat=directlink Time to take things apart! 93' SBC... will convert to carb and mid-range cam.

Looks like a fun project. I would stick with FI as well. It's nice when it starts right up and you don't have to wait for the carbs to warm up.

New pixs!
Washers sre from a Sentra... perfect fit!New struts in place. Fuel pump in place with cut-off! Silver nicely contrasts with the black! 2/0 cable to the starter! Running 2 6 gauge cables to the front for power! Got the tach out for the V8 mod. A little rewiring. Note the 2/0 cable for the ground Tranny looks good! |

Nice! I've always liked the chalon kits when they were done well. Your looks to be in great shape. I hope you plan to bring it to WCR in June (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Congrats on getting to drive it. Always a great feeling getting that first drive in after a long time of putting it together

I was wondering if anybody was going to remark about the stall and the "ha" at the end of the video! I thank my 13 year old son for that great ending! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Always a great feeling getting that first drive in after a long time of putting it together I would love to go to WRC in June (try to get a 914 convoy from Boise with Dean and whom ever else wanted to join), but can't do it. I've got my cousin and his family visiting us from Sicily, so we're going play gracious hosts instead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Never know where to put the pix and the videos.
I just added a new Magna Flow exahust system (muffler part number is 12468). It sounds really good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S79oCm5R8UY |
