Other than that the car has came a good ways. Congratulations on the progress.

the motor was fully inspected by kim barr racing engines. They cleaned up the piston and it is good to go.

I give it a month at the most after you put it in before a bottle or two is sprayed through it...

i had originally purchased a bad *** spohn adjustable but it wouldnt fit with my true duals unfortunatley so i traded my roomate for his edelbrock one which is the one i painted red.

as far as cost goes i have no idea, when im done ill add everything up just to know but it will all be worth it when i hear her start for the first time. i bought mostly everything new but just made sure i got the lowest price possible, took advantage of free shipping etc. bought the motor in july i think so...... budget build
