Damn! Look at that 4 Rotor in the back of a Protege! Hey, I got your message, and I hate too hear about your little incident loading the engines. I wish I could have rolled down with you. We could have taken Big Blue. 14 mpg, but without an engine hoist, it would have been a bitch picking them up chest high. Hope your hand gets better.

I may need the help. My brother is a scrawny kid (think white ethopian lol) and with my and my dad it was pretty rough lifting it over the trunk. I am basically useless with only one working hand

If I don't get the engines out tonight expect me to drop you a line

Thanks!

Lol. I think I got about 20mpg on the way back. Steering wheels and carpet are in the car for ya. My brother got some teeth pulled today. Lucky me, I grabbed a few hydrocodines from him. I feel good right now

4 rotor has crossed my mind, but if I am going 4 rotor then I will make it a huuuge PP. Who cares if I have to keep it above 4k.... lol.

But in all seriousness I am going to slap my bridge plates on one and if another is good I will possibly PP it in the future. Which means I still have the one engine to spare DD

Good stuff man. I'm serious about the intake and Holley. The 600 would be perfect for the bridgeport. If we could try it, just for the hell of it, I would be happy. Let me know how things go with it. I will see if I can get some free time this coming weekend, and I will bring you a free tranny!

Sam, as I recall, Big Blue is not a Mazda. Stu would not have been eligible for the OGTA discount.



Any of you guys coming down for Feb 5?

Hey, if a Holley with those big honkin Racing Beat air cleaners will clear, then I think that duel Dellorto setup should. Who cares? If you had that sitting on a big bridgeport, I would cut a TII style scoop in the right side of the hood to draw the air in, just to run that. You got to admit, that's freekin dead sexy.

Housing? The Iron is in good shape, just needs lathing to get rid of a small dimple in it. The PO ported the irons rather badly. I wouldn't run boost with it and I may clean it up a bit
