Don't encourage him, lol. Its not hard to swap that FMOC on later and the behive is sufficient for a stock ported/mildly modified 12A, lol..

Besides, LE's didn't have FMOC!!

Neither did my '84 GS, but dammit its getting one.

The insane heat in the summer here almost warrants it, even on a BONE stock rotary. I'm using an FC cooler

Just saying.

See Bill he agrees with me!! I have a FC cooler also but I think the 79 stuff will be more of a drop in application...I need a new rad any way

'84 GS isn't a rare model, thus why it wont matter They dont have LSD or disc brakes, but I'd throw 'em on a GS any day, lol.



On another note, honestly... the behive isn't that bad. Is the FMOC better? Absolutely. Necessary on a stock 12A - not really. Plenty of those little guys
have helped those 12As make it to 200K+ miles...


Really, I'm just picking on Chris here about it

That is why I swapped in an LSD/disc rear end!!!!!

All in all, nothing really matter except what YOU want to do!

All I know, is all these bastard cars better be at DGRR.
