Yeah Im still dreaming of merican muscle myself unfortunately I dont have a spare 50k to buy the car I want a 1970 chevelle 396 big block.

Still trying to decide what to do, I have an EFI hardware setup that came with an engine we bought for the rally car years ago, but the EFI setup never founds its way into the rally car

I was thinking of getting it running on this car with the view to transplant it into the rally car when it is all running and proven

but, now i have my eyes on a totally different car ('merican muscle) and i'm half in the mind to sell this car to make room (Claire hates the idea of selling her car, but there's only so many spaces under cover for classic cars at our house)

I have a 32/36 or twin sides which could go on this easily enough.... decisions decisions

*If you can get your head around all that your doing better than me*

Nice what quads are you going to use?

Rebuilt 60a 4speed now in!!!!!
Also put in a h165 with new drum brakes.

Good raw old skool fun now!
But even on the first drive around the block you can tell the stock carb is stangling anything over 4500rpm

Great stuff mic. Will be a good car. Well better.

I put this car on club rego a year ago and have been using it as 1 of 3 club rego cars so that i dont need a full reg car (cheaper)

6 months back me and a couple of mates spent a day tidying it up and lowering it all round so that it looked a bit nicer

and i'm now putting together a bunch of spares to do up the mechanicals

-New seats, all black autotechnica
-H165 diff, 4.11 center
-manual! have a rebuilt smooth case 4spd which i will start with, and maybe put the 5spd in when claire gets used to manual
- quad throttle bodies, (should have most stuff except an appropriate surge tank) run by megasquirt
- correct crossmember for late motor (may need to modify AC brackets to fit)
- chin spoiler (but claire is adamant im not allowed to put that on)

also need some better extractors, which hopefully i have and will fit when the new crossmember is in
and i need to setup some decent thermo fans perhaps on a better fitting radiator

this all seems like easy enough stuff to do after playing with CA's for a while now

will get some up to date photos when i start work

That little one looks like a sucker for cars

this car is sitting around doing nothing

maybe waiting for the young one to be old enough to drive....

Funny, I don't mind the globes. Never been too keen on fender mirrors but hey, it's your car, not mine.

It'll make a nice first car for the little one in about 17 years
