Thanks. Smoothe n tough and glad it's finally done.I think those are pretty good numbers considering it's got a stock intake (ported) and a mild cam. How does it feel now that you can get on it some?

It is and I am. This is as far as the motor is gonna go for a good bit, I'm gonna button it up and call the horsepower department good and move on to interior.I bet its fun as ****, just drive it!
Yeah it was still making power at 5,600 but was running out fuel there. But for the purpose of this car 5,600 is plenty. I doubt she'll hardly ever see 5k rpm.Headscam are what's hurting there. Otherwise those are good numbers and you've likely taken those parts about as far as they will go. Good job.
I'm hoping so. The motor has around 10k mi maybe max.And the cool thing is it ought to go for 100k+ And be reliable at this power level with these parts. Have fun driving it while doing the rest.
Yeah man if I don't get on to the interior I'll never get this thing finished.Thats pretty sweet, glad you plan to have fun with it now instead of instantly wanting more. The more, more, more bug only creates constant headaches and loss of interest in the car.
I've thought about deleting the console but I think I'm gonna keep it. Interior plans: include headliner, carpet, and having the seats recovered. Nothing too wildEver consider doing something custom on the interior? My seats were cheap, but I loved the deleted console I did in my '95. My console was nothing but a rattling, squeaking POS.
This was after I changed the carpet to black.
All you have to do is trim the bottom of the dash straight, and weld a piece of round bar from the inside of the dash to the floor (up by the firewall out of sight) for good support. Otherwise the dash will have a small amount of bounce over bumps. Anywho, just throwing out ideas if you want to be different and give it an old muscle car feel.
Preference in appearance I suppose.Neat, that plastic center really has no value.
That looks very cool. Reminds me of the old "hot rod days". Love it!Ever consider doing something custom on the interior? My seats were cheap, but I loved the deleted console I did in my '95. My console was nothing but a rattling, squeaking POS.

I agree. I've thought about the delete but I think I'm gonna hang on to it. Do u miss the jinky-azz cup holder?As is everything with cars. Didnt mean to hijack, there is nothing wrong with the console. Mine just happened to be sloppy and make a bunch of noise so I thought what the hell. The downfall of deleting my console was learning to lean over on the door instead of my usual lean on the console. For some reason I cant just sit up straight in the seat when cruising around slow.
