Spent more time on the motor today. Overall pretty happy with the March setup. Need to order a belt, not sure why it doesn't come with any of the kits. Also got the dual pickup MSD distributor to go along with the 2 MSD 6 boxes. Not exactly sure where I'm going to mount the 2 coils, might need to fab up a bracket that will drop them in behind the serpentine belt.



I absolutely love the FPA headers, I sure hope they clear the steering with my R&C setup. Stan says they will, only time will tell.

Woweeeeeeee!
Too rich for my blood.
All that money you spent and they can't include a belt?

Uuuuugh It looks so good - I'm so jealous. I can't wait to see it in that beautiful engine bay. Want to build me one?

HOOOOLY SHEES!! Mr Velocity, sir! That is beautiful!

May I recommend you relocate the radiator and leave off the grill so people can see the front of that engine!

That does look awesome, just need a black, gray, or blue distributor cap to replace the red one.

Nobody home I haven't touched the car all summer, was flaring the brake lines in May when my Mastercool hyd flare tool broke. Sent it back for warranty but that was it, lost all steam and never got back on the car. My son is pushing to get on it again so we'll probably start making some progress again.

I can't believe how long the car has been sitting. Hurricane Sandy flooded us pretty good, car is fine see its a good thing I never finished it, motor is fine but I just pulled apart the 4R70W, its a rusty mess. Spent a fortune at FB performance, this one hurts. Decided its time to start working on the old girl again, since the trans is junk I'm thinking a T5 should go in. Need to pull the rear apart and see how much water got in but hoping for the best. Time to research the auto to T5 conversion to see if its a go for us.

Ah, its good to be back, sure missed this place.
