Don't plan to give that up to easy Frank!!!  LOL  Already ordered an new intake from John, (would LOVE to have the aluminum heads, but not in the budget!  .  I will be ordering one of John's "hot rod in a box" kits, once I get all the required info from my machinist. I won't be going TOO crazy, but will take it as far as my budget will allow. Wish me luck!!!  
 

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Well after 13 years of my abuse, it is time to freshen up Vicky's old heart!  Funny thing is that she looks like a Gasser now with the Y pulled out! LOL
