I was just going to say that I hope it was a V6 car. Either way though, I like the out of the box thinking of going back to pushrods. The feel is something that just cant be duplicated.

On the contrary, it was a conscious decision. FI wouldn't really provide anything other than a small increase in mileage (with the carb it gets about 6mpg). Yes, FI would have cost three times what I paid for the carb, but cost was not a factor.

I also didn't do the swap for the power. I did it for the noise it makes.

That's an awfully expensive build, just for a little cam noise....still a cool car, none the less.
