Guess I really havnt said a whole lot about the this portion of the build. tryin to make it look some what stock, very few shiny parts lots of black and stock metal.

WE3RX7 · 12-03-2011, 09:46 PM

Thought I'd throw up a pic of a nicely blasted stock manifold. It's just amazing how well a 25+ year old cast part will clean up.

WE3RX7 · 12-28-2011, 09:04 PM

Port matched intake runners and cleaned gasket surface.

Need more pics of the rest of the build man, lol...

WE3RX7 · 03-05-2012, 12:26 PM

Lol.. There is more work than that done!

one320fc · 03-07-2012, 04:21 PM

Ok so I will post up some more updates soon and pictures. I have spent more money and the ups man will visit me again soon so till then thanks to Billy (WE3RX7) for the help working on it and not sure if dave from Rotorsports is on here but I owe him a thanks for the good deal on the parts I ordered!

WE3RX7 · 03-07-2012, 04:56 PM

I'm just excited to see you get this done. There just aren't that many clean FBs around much and it will be good to see another example running around town.

once you get it running and I finish the refinish on the wheels it will be one slick ride. You and MC will have Jekyll and Hyde lol...

one320fc · 03-14-2012, 06:56 PM

So I figured it was time to add some Bling to my pretty much no colored engine bay...enjoy
