If "running out of steam" for you is building a new rear suspension, I don't know what to call my complete lack of interest in replacing the timing cover on my stupid car (which seems necessary to fire it up, given apparently incompatible cam sensor distance).
To reply to a previous response, come on down if you get the chance. I've got a 12-mile test track (curvy river road) that runs right past my yard--you just have to dodge a lot of spandex on certain days . . .
Thanks for the clarity the Holley hydramaxipad thing. I may look into that the next time my fuel pump situation becomes problematic.
Oh, and to be the jerk here (kind of my job), you are going to want some vertical adjustment in that Panhard, if you haven't already planned that in.
