Tight DMF likely could mean a little less 'conservative' driving history...

Good snappics too! Always fun to look at builds!

Car was driven hard at least once....


Truthfully, the only evidence of this demise as far as the motor was concerned was one small gouge in the air horn and a small piece of safety glass in the valley. I'd be curious to know what the story of the car was before Dave owned it, and who pulled the motor. Every single electrical connector on the top of the motor was broken. Someone had the upper intake off and about half of the vacuum lines were missing or broken. Some bolts were replaced with non OEM bolts, and a few of the missing ones were laying in the valley....lol.

The accel injectors Dave put in/had put in were there. Plug wires were replaced at some point, with several being off the coils when I pulled the plenum. And whoever replaced the spark plugs never replaced the back two...
