Thanks to everyone!

Post by Blue Moon »

I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone of you who have ever asked a question or replyed to one, Webmaster before you I am humbled. I have used this site for over two years while I struggled to make up my mind which way to go with my car. I have chased more threads troubleshooting problems with building my car. With luck I will be driving it to the muffler shop running only the header tomorrow or the next day.
I decided to keep the basic appearance, but went old school, with an H20 stroker, Crank scraper, dizzy distributer, GM Alt swap, and a few U20 swaps, radiator(240Z water neck), oil pump, little stuff. Well, and an Ed Bray reground cam, I mean a boy has got to hear his toy.
Well I finally took the plunge and registered as a real person, I just wanted to have a roadster that at turned on before I did! There are a few of you that I have met and that I could not have gotten this far without, Sid as always thanks, Now, Mufflers and then I have got to fix the fenders!\
You are all the best, again Thanks, Denis (Friar)

Easy on the mufflers, Give that motor freedom of speach.

Good for you and a stroker to boot. Dennis Louthan posted some info on stroker badges. They look pretty good. I plan to post the info on the main web site but if you are interested let me know and I will send it to you. Oh heck, let me look for it right now. Here it is:

If you happen to have a stroker motor check out this site.
I just ordered one.

Want a set of Weber 32/36 downdrafts with the manifold adapters cheap??
1 was enough for a 2.4 liter ford, so plenty of air.

SWMBO is pushing for a massive extra parts clearance sale, especialy since a parts/fix car will be dragged home soon.
