last for now are some engine pics and the firewall evap housing. The pistons are KB Forged (not the hypers) and the rods are PPR's forged I-Beams, very nice parts for the $ and a good bit lighter than stock. A few details on the engine: It's the original engine, bored .040 over, stock crank turned .020/.020, zero decked, Ultradyne 280/288 hyd. (223/231 dur. .463/.485 lift and custom ground on a 112lsa, 60lb melling oil pump with a tomahawk windage tray and baffled oil pan. Heads are the original 7F6's and will be lightly cleaned up and milled .030 to get it around 9.2 to 1 compression. Stock HO intake and a Cliff tuned q-jet. I got a set of oversized ceramic coated RA manifolds and later a pypes crossflow exhaust. The A/C box I did today, it was painted black in an earlier life and what a joy to remove that from the fiberglass without scratching it. I used a couple of coats of gloss clear to darken it and then a couple of light coats of matte clear to calm it down as it looked like it was glowing almost with the gloss clear. Now to work on the evap. and a/c parts so they will be ready to fit back in there soon.
