That engine is disguised very well! I like it!
Thats awesome
goddamnit that is cool. cam is pretty lumpy I take it? any videos?
hold on, so this is a runner / driver as it sits or a project?
that’s super cool. are these things reasonably drivable on the street?
its certainly a runner.
i drove up to ventura friday afternoon to check it out, made a deal and ended up driving it home 90 miles in rush hour friday traffic through LA…it didnt skip a beat
^
badass
HEATED SEATS?!?!?! SOLD.
yoooo this is so fucking rad!
Yea, dude! We gotta meet up in a few weeks once my jalop is driving
Think I heard you.
lol are you in LA ?
you
still in long beach?
i buttoned up a few items on the list this weekend.
-added baffles to the headers
-removed the drivers side allen wrench door pins and found some brass pins
-replaced the front mount for the pass side olds valve cover
-got the fuel gauge working
-dialed in the carb
-repaired a vacuum leak
-removed the painted feet
things i still need to do include:
register the damn thing with DMV tomorrow
have a snap tonneau cover made
hook up the water temp gauge
figure out why the tach is reading backwards
hook up the speedo
bend the shifter for a bit more room
cut a piece of alum or stainless to sit behind the gauge panel to clean up the gaps
add hinges to the deck lid
no, Gardena. I’m renting a house with a 2 car garage. Check my insta pics
Very cool man, I look forward to see what you do with it. :tup:
Looks awesome man! I always wondered how fast these are just because it seems like such a lightweight vehicle with a big engine. How’s it feel accelerating compared to well anything else I suppose.
When you setup tachs off a LS they usually need to be configured for 4 cylinder mode might be your issue.
its strange cause it will work ok for the first minute or two when i start the car then it climbs all the way up to 8k and reads backwards…
also its been a god damn monsoon here all week. finally had a break on sat so naturally i was in the roadster all day…
right but where are the open wheel burnouts
