FINALLY!!! SHE STARTED!!! And I cannot believe the difference in the proformance. Since i am always at about 3k or above i haven't really felt any low end yet power change. I cannot get the carb to idle below 1200 rpm any ideas? I will have some movies soon...[attachment=38484:attachment][attachment=38485:attachment][attachment=38486:attachment][attachment=38487:attachment]

Alright it has been a while since i have posted so i have to catch everyone up. The motor from the donor car threw an apex about a month and a half ago.... So I had decided to sell the car. Rob down at pineapple came by because he was interested in buying the car. After I explained everything that had been done to the car Rob toldme that he thought it best for me NOT to sell the car to him!!! I was going to sell everything to him for 700.00!!! So i asked why. Well he felt that with all the work i had done and the situation that he couldn't buy it from me and feel right about it. So Rob is giving me a hand and biulding a new motor for me at a great price. Oh and i am painting the engine bay now since the car has been sitting. The majority will be black but the fenders and bolted on parts outside of the unibody will be white. I will post when i resize the pics.
I've killed a motor and drove a half dead motor before.Never blew a piston motor tho....
