[Orange Terror]

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Sweet hope your able to bring it to the meet and greet.

[wezeles]

oh it will be there... right now im looking into the LT1 intake conversion that matt kindly pointed out to me... fuel injection that can handle my motor with a good price... and the lines on the lt1 would match my vavle covers nice...just as a bonus..lol
i just contacted the guy who makes them up seeing what he is going to recomend for my motor

[wezeles]

i mean come on these valve covers and that intake... with a nice 58mm TB and some clean fuel rail covers... im thinking this will be the summer project now once i getting rolling again

[MattODoom]

Just get a carb on there and get it going, then do an EFI swap down the road. Otherwise you wont be driving it for a while because you'll be busy trying to tune the ECM and get the car running decent.

it is done.. well running i ordered the same headers i had last time hooker shorties, only one side matches up so have to tow it to the exhaust shop in the morning to get it fixed.. and one other small problem, lol my mech forgot to put the freeze plug in behind the cam so it spued oil ever where when i got it running... so he works at the same shop now just going to toss it in his bay make him toss the freeze plug in it by yanking the trans sence the motor is all squared away and wired up, had alot of problems getting it going at first and its not going to be top notch for a while but still way better then last year but atleast by tomorrow afternoon i will be on the road with it. got the cowl painted.. not the best paint job but good enough to get me by dont plan on keeping the 2 inch doesnt look big enough... but i will be at the meet and greet under its own power so im happy.
