PREACH ON! My intake is currently doubling as a water fountain... a water fountain that pisses DIRECTLY IN TO THE ALTERNATOR! Woo!!! Got a replacement sitting beside me though, but no time to swap.
OP: Be careful with cam choice. You are pretty limited before you run into piston-to-valve clearance issues on a stock motor. You can have the pistons notched, but to do that right, they have to come OUT of the motor... so that's a lot of work.
i was just cruising down the highway, nothing special put the clutch in to come to a stop and the engine shut off. thought it was my dirty IAC because i deal with that occasionally, got it to start again but it died almost instantly and started smoking when i finally came to a rest.
