This car is so clean, I love the way it looks with your 2nd set of wheels.

There is really nothing cooler than high compression. What fuel will you be running? I assume your just looking at doing limited street cruising, or are you planning on running some time attack type events with the car?

I agree. A compression motor just has that certain sound and feel to it. I will be running Sunoco 110. AED built the carb to use that fuel and that's what we dyno'd it on. There's actually a local station here that carries it at the pump. This is just a limited street car - less than 500 miles per year.

Hey guys, we delayed putting the motor in the car this year for good cause. The exciting news is that the swap will be televised on one of the cable TV automotive how-to shows. Filming is scheduled for end of January but I do not have an air date yet. More details to follow.

I went for a DZ inspired motor, too. RPM and Compression can be a lot of fun in this style car .
