well, when you build a new house, blow up the engine 3 times, and work 12 hours shifts its hard to fit all this is. plus my distributor just went to ****. relax my god

finally lol. So you blew it? Its just that you never posted after you said u were going to the track and u were gonna post a vid and a time. I've been following the build since it started and i was anxious to see how it came out.

Default heres the final stage of the car lol (hopefully)

and it blew up 1 due to really bad luck and 2 shitty gas... i now have lower comp pistons about 11:1 to run on pump gas, track day may be an option but for now its getting it reliable... new crx bumper w/ mx3 front lip
new engine is a 4 bolt main 355 now professionally built
updates! hope u like them

Man, get away from the block huggers, build a custom set, especially if you truly have 11:1 compression. Also you will benefit from not having to running shorty plugs. What cc's are the heads, 64? What size camshaft or just post the duration it don't matter. What size carb? Also why do you have a 7" balancer on that thing? Why not get rid of that distributor you have and run an HEI or do you have a MSD or some other box?

So as of now there is no engine in the car? Cause I really want a new background but I want a shot of the hood open and V8 peeking its head out.

first off it was a budget build, the headers fit and thats all that matters, hei wont fit under the dash, heads are 64cc and thats not a 7" balancer, plus thats the one my engine builder recommended. dude dont be a dick i did what i could do on my budget...deal with what i did or keep your mouth shut
