this morning. Got into commute traffic to the muffler shop down the road from where I work. About an 18 mile drive, country roads and into downtown Boise... with open headers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) that sucker's loud when pulling away from a stoplight. Definitely got the looks from the other asleep at the wheel commuters. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) Every thing was hot straight, and normal with the engine/drivetrain... but there is some vibration. Must not of got the engine balance quite right. Oh well, just have to get going on building the 4.1L Buick engine and do a better job of it, plus throw more hot rod stuff in that engine.

OK, here it is. Proof positive that my 914 conversion really does run. Look!!! It is somewhere other than my house, or on jackstands. This was taken in front of my in-laws house in Boise. Oh yea, that's me. Took the wife out to dinner in it and gave her a minor demo of its power as we were trying to cross Broadway Ave. after leaving the resturant. She was definitely impressed... I could tell by the tone of her yelling at me to "SLOW DOWN!!!"
