It will work for awhile. In most cases as long as you don't put it on slicks it will be ok.

Yep. Will be fine. Mine is the original T-5 and it is still holding together.

Thanks for the kudos guys.

HackGT350, nope not any room at all for working on it. The propane carb is in the fender with the 12" K&N filter attached to the Anderson power pipe. Had to move the carb there as the blower at idle was causing the diaphram in the carb to bounce and the idle was erratic. So now it is before the blower and it is a rock solid idle. Throttle response is incredible!!! I had a 510 RWHP combo with a 306 and a SDS stand alone fuel system before, and this setup puts it to shame.


Nice project car ya got there. Go slow and do it right the first time. I didn't on my first engine (this is the 3rd) and I spent alot of extra $$$$ when I didn't need to. Have a game plan and stick to it and you will be happy.
