I thought the 37 was a long hauler type project. Something you and your wife could enjoy to take a road trip in to wine country. She isn't going to want to do it in a 32 ford.

We've been talking about buying a place in vinoland.... so this would be the perfect rod for that area... ya think? I'd drop her off at one of those tasting places and have them call me when she can't feel her lips....

I'd just love to be closer to Charley!

Should be a fun ride when complete that's for sure. "Adult go-kart" is right.

Awesome looking intake Greg.

Next time you're down in this winecountry you're more then welcome to stop by our shop. We're the second business outside of the Napa city limits.

Just ordered a Smeding Performance 383 SBC with EFI. They have a special on them for $4995 COMPLETE with the EFI etc. I'll rip that all off and stick the Inglese 8 stack and use a FAST EZ EFI on it but couldn't pass up a "deal" like that on a nicely built motor.

Seems the one that came in the car has some "odd" cylinder pressure readings and some real loose leak-down numbers. Rather than rebuild it - I just bought this new motor and we'll go with that.

The Smeding motor comes with aluminum heads and a warranty. It's a no brainer!

Very nice Greg. Should be a great fit. Will look great with your intake on top. Not too shabby with that 430 TQ.

Nice motor, but ONLY 370 hp? Come on, you can handle more than that!

Have you ever driven a 370 HP 5 speed 3:70 geared Go Kart??
