You need a fan shroud? I'm sure I have a extra one laying around if you want it. Just let me know before this weekend, and I'll bring it when I come for the hood.

Already got one but every time I'm working on the front accessories its not near me so I say fuck it till next time. Plus I got that old school solid non clutch type fan so she stays pretty cool regardless is need to put the shroud on get a smaller carb and put my air cleaner back on

Well I had to finally look at it this way......efi vs carb is all about preference and with this new motor I give new cars a run for there money so why spend hella money and gain weight for what? Different intakes? Lol but I'm loving my set up and it's not as finicky as my efi car was. Knowledge is power and I'm just doing what I can within my budget and time frames

Dustin I'm running that same 1411 you have posted up for sale. It's way to big but it is alright for now. I have the accelerator rod on the middle setting and it pulls harder I can already tell and I have the timing at 14 base and she's just a monster. Super small rear end gear and a c4 just pull for ever. I want to grab my buddy's go pro to make a ride along video for you guys

Lookin good bro. Where did that crease in the driver side door come from. I don't remember that when we went to pick it up.

Posted by LXjames (Member # 10791) on :

It was already like that when we went to pick it up bro

Posted by 68dustin (Member # 5388) on :

I ended up throwing the 750 on my motor. so your motor likes the middle setting on the rod. i'll give it a try.

Didn't know this was you bro lol. I was bullshittin with you out there on the coast in socal, my little bro had the red maro ss and i was in the gray vert with the black hood. Putting names with faces is what i dig about these get togethers we have. She's coming along great though, makes me want to ditch my payments and auto trans and get a fox project!
