I picked it up on ebay this morning, It's a 1990 LX 25th Anniversary 4cyl 5 spd. The car is a 1 owner with 70K miles. Should be a better candidate for my buildup than my vert' Sad news is I have to sell the vert now.

Anyhow here are some pics from the ebay auction.

Heres a pic of the engine going into the new notch!



I am going to send my Track Heat back to summit, and go carb'd, it will be much cheaper to build.

Dear Matt,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the :SNSign: Notch Owners Club. Please make yourself comfortable, there is a wet bar located in the lounge right next to the stage and dancer's pole. For your viewing pleasure, we have *insert naRaven Rileyme here* today from 1:00PM to 1:00AM. Tips are appreciated buy staff, but not necessary. Please wait in the lounge until escorted to your new room. Remember, drinks are always free and please take care of the interns... they do a lot of "extracaricular activities" here and don't get paid much.

Welcome,
Strype

Do you already have the parts for the carb swap? mine started getting expensive, but i will always keep mine carb'd. I bought the universal throttle cable from lokar, the entire fuel system kit thru summit, an msd billet dizzy, 6AL box etc.... but for the ease of maintenance, its worth it to me.

im guessing you have carb knowledge considering the car in the background? if not i have a ton of links that might be helpful to ya

I dont have anything for the carb swap, but It's nothing Im scared of. I am doing it right the first time. Also the car in the background of the engine pic is my 1965 Nova II w/ 496ci stroked BBC

Anybody have a picture of an all white notch or a bright silver one? If so post it up please. Im considering those two color choices for this notch, mainly because its gets hotter than hell in south florida!

as for the carb swap, the throttle cable from a 4 banger works nicely and hooks right up.

White looks good, It's cooler, looks sharp, and it hides any unsuspecting dents better! Thanks for the picture Jason.
