In summary:
Found the car on Craigslist. Low mile, low rust, straight body. No holes in the hell hole. Longs are clean. A small miracle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) After seeing Rick's "Alien" build, Felix's "Neo 914", and meeting "JLo", Andyrew, Sir Andy and other's rides.... I just gotta' get'er done! |

A few suggestions ...
- With those headers make sure you'll be able to route your exhaust on the left side to clear your shifter bar. - Don't use the front and back rubber intake manifold gaskets and instead use a thick bead of Permatex on the rails. - Get a one-piece oil pan gasket, much better than the 4-piece sets. Worth the extra cost. - Use a double-roller timing set with a 3-keyway crank sprocket so you can advance the cam. With the cam I'm using I've found a 4 degree advance makes a big difference in performance. |
