NOTHING ELSE was touched...nothing


i have just under a grand for the entire deal, including all new hoses, belt and fresh fluids.

this car is daily driven going on 2 years strong and it has taken a beating. it stops great on the drums, and ive tested them. for what it is , this little car boogies on down the road and is fast for what it is...bone stock 67 318 with a 4 barrel and headers.

bang for the buck? this is it. that ole slant could never dream of running this good especially for the money.
i did this by myself in 8 hours ....running

no, im not bashing the 6 cylinder


That's pretty cheap all right, butr how much bang did you get for your buck (how fast is it?)

This guy put a Buick turbo (175$ at a junkard) added a 4-bbl l carb and a Clifford intake and ran 12.95 @ 104 with what is basically, the engine you threw away.

Is your car faster than that?
