Can you feel the power? I can!!!!
« on: May 24, 2004, 05:58:07 AM »
 I finally completed a long motor build and got it installed this weekend. I livened up my 8v with a .020 bore, .010 crank grind, shaved a little off the head and topped it all off with a high torque cam from Colt Cams in Vancouver. I've replaced the air box with a K&N type cone filter and have a low restriction 2" exhaust. This thing pushes 32x11.5 tires like it was stock now. ;D ;D ;D   I'm afraid to open it up for a while to see what it'll really do until I get some miles on it and everything seats in proper but early indications are very impressive :o

I was just wondering how much of a difference from the air box and how do I check what size of exhaust I have? Thanks,

Sounds like a great build up on the engine. I'm hoping to find a donor engine to do a rebuild much like what you did with yours.

Great job.
Question for everybody here;
Does pulling hot air from right above the exhaust manifold hinder performance at slow speeds?

sorry to say, but that manifold ruins the hole look of the engine.  if you get a  header then it will look wicked sweet.

P.S.  i love the cover plates for the strut towers.

pulling hot air does hinder performance a little bit.  It isn't going to be anything that you would really notice since you are going slow anyway  ;D

I had my filter on there like that for a few weeks... not too noticable, since it seemed to flow a tad more anyway...

The filter made a very significant increase in power and a little better mileage. Measure the inside diameter of your tailpipe, probably 1.75 inch
