No sir, not in west Texas!!

Yeah, I had thought about that and figured as much. The one thing that car does not need is heat, but I'd still like to put it together properly.

I'm in 100% agreement, but for now I'll have to loop them and cap it off at the firewall. I just found out that my significant other is going to be transferred to Houston and I'm in the middle of a full blown renovation of a house that we'll now likely never move into, plus work travel...

Sweet, that’s perfect. Thanks for the quick reply!

Evening everyone. I was hoping someone could tell me the purpose of these coolant hoses. Why do they run into the firewall? Can they be capped off on the engine? Mine apparently are leaking into the car’s cabin.

I worked at a veterinarian's office while I was in high school. Are you sure you really want to know???

It was, but it was pretty gratifying to do (even if there may have been a swear word or two thrown in the car's direction) and I learned a bit along the way. I've not been able to test it yet; I literally just finished it a couple of hours ago. I *might* be able to get it out tomorrow, but...

Lord, if that was but the only of my life's failures... Pics to come. Please hold.

Afternoon all, I've finally managed to get the fuel lines replaced with solid stainless. Took a while, and there was a bit of waste, but I now have SS lines, 6AN connections, and the lines are double- and in some places triple-insulated with heat shield (shield over the SS lines, and then...

I totally agree with you, and that's also part of the reason I decided to put this on hold while I finish up some other things with the car. At 20 -25mph it has no problems breaking loose if you hammer it in 1st gear (maybe even a little faster than that). Believe it or not, I was looking at...

Agreed, and the car already has a bar in it! Glad you asked though, because that really does make a difference. This car is mostly street, shows, that kind of thing. It may see the strip every blue moon or so. To be honest, I've been planning out a 500+ hp car for a while, but I'm now kind...

Gotcha. Well, if nothing else I can probably sell what's coming out of it and do an offset. If I were to take it in a whole different direction I'd probably look for a 383 block and stuff that in there. Technically they were only available in the Formula S package for 1967, but hey, it's...

The 556 hp (crank) was surprisingly high to me; at 15% loss that's 467 at the tire. 434 at the tire comes out to about 510 hp, which I think is obtainable with this setup though I'm admittedly basing that solely on magazine articles and dyno test videos.
