That is what I want!!! I'm jealous!!! When you say it needs the rest of the motor, what all needs changed? Pardon my ignorance, but what is that on your #1 intake?
on the head is the outlet to upper radiator hose, on the intake itself is for water heating.
as for engines, u hear of people talking about a good "combo", this meaning that everything is balanced or designed to work with other components in the same performance level will say.
its like putting a big blower on a stock 273 or something with 25psi of boost... no more bottom, the engine was not built around the idea of boost.
so! what u need to do is decide what u want the car to do? 13 sec drag car that u can drive to work daily and know u'll get 12 mpg but dont care? or just a nice rebuild with some light upgrades?
p.s. i built mine to do low 13's and Mike Jefferies thinks it will to :cheers:
