    It's the same angle as a pillar pod. I'd bet he took a pillar pod and modded it into the dash.

    Shame he didn't get a Glow Shift gauge. They have a green on their LED that would looks slick with that dash.

    I'm contemplating redoing my entire gauge cluster with Glow Shift products when I switch to EFI.

    classic inlines aluminum head - great upgrade.
    i run the OZ 2v head it was patterned from in my mustang. makes the little six a really nice toy. i wish the heads for the big six were finished - would love to drop one in my econoline.

    Man what a set up!
    I to am building my Strait six for added performance. I've rebuilt and bored out the bottom end, flat top pistons, perf cam, header, and modified the head for 2 barrel conversion. I'd love to go with an aluminum head with a real detachable intake, but there way to pricey for my budget.
    Keep us posted on the build progress. I'd be very interested to see how much more horse power he gets with that top end.
    :tiphat: Cheers

    I noticed the nice engine, and was surprised to see that he "almost" had shock tower clearance issues with a straight six!

    But, yes, V8 to the core, so more interested in the dash...

    sorry...
