I like it clean and simple. The less there is under the hood the less can go wrong.

Your eye is drawn to the overall motor and then you go to the polished aluminum. Very nice.

Everything has happened in that parking spot. The short block was stacked at a friends shop due to experience but everything else was done in that spot. My neighbors got to love me.

Base map set. Had to put a new alt in because the other one went bad. Good to go for the local annual meet in november.

that is one of the best rebuilds i have seen in a long time, fantastic work man

you'll have fun with that car, at least someone took the time to put the proportioning valve in but you'll soon find out how fun/scary a car is without ABS.

Do you have a list of parts you use to delete your ABS?

THAT'S why the engine bay looks so much less messy than mine, no ABS.

dang very nice build. When I first saw the car I was like oh that's aweful, but now with a lot of the stock parts put back in place, and the attention to detail the car looks really clean and is a very impressive build up. Wish my engine was that clean, but I just wanted the damn thing in there after letting the car sit for half a decade. After I get done breaking stuff and trying to make it faster I can make it pretty like yours.

PS is all this work being done at like an apartment or condo type complex in the parking lot?? lol Kudos
