    You have many options. Consider a I/8" straight bar grill in the bottom.

    Gutted the entire interior!
    Had to remove the carpet to do my bucket seat braces, which led to to removing the back seat, which led to screw it - everything comes out haha

    Sorry took so long to respond, I was out of town....they do if it is requested of them, I did not ask to have it done, I know these heads are fine, heard the car run with them on it.
    These should work pretty good on them.........

    While replacing intake found out I had a bad lifter... I never had a valve tap but a hesitation when I would press the gas, I'm wondering was that the problem:huh:

    Replaced a broken anti-rattle spring/clip on the front disc brakes and checked and added air pressure in all 4 tires.

    Drove it for the second time since last November, plagued by a vac leak under my alum carb spacer. Took me a long time to isolate the leak. I did'nt make isolating the leak a priority cuz I was'nt using the car in the cold months. Went to a CNC plastic/phelonic spacer. Car seems to run OK and not afraid to drive it. Made my first Kruize In this season w/ 2 other Mav's.
