Ready for Churazco?
Sorry Rob but that isn't my car, it belongs to another forum member and you are correct when you say that car is INCREDIBLE.... Paul has done an outstanding job on that build, mine is nice but not as nice as his.

Thanks for all the compliments...

To say that I was nervous as well as giddie like a little boy at Christmas is an understatement. I am thrilled to finally start her up after all the hard work I have put into her. As you can tell by my "work" clothes in the previous pictures, she has put me thru HELL trying to get her put back together.

I wanted to keep it old school with little wiring. Looking for any where in the neighbor hood of 300 to 400 HP. Just enogh to run 12's in the 1/4 mile without stressing her.
I plan on updating it to fuel injection as well as running a T60 in the next year or so with the injector system that loos like a Holley. I have seen a few running that injection system and they are pretty simple with little wiring as well which fits my criteria.

If you're gonna go EFI with that route, then use the throttlebody setup that looks like your carbs.



then you don't have to change much at all. You could even keep your IC piping.
