haha the blue car is actually my dads car it needs a ton of work it still has the orignal paint on it and the engine has never been rebuilt.

as far as my car hopefully i will be able to smog it. it looks smog visible for me. it idles smooth,but i havent had it tuned yet,only have a custom chip for it right now.Monday it goes on the dyno hopefully i get some decent hspwr to the wheels. li Anybody have problems putting on aftermarket valve covers on with the superram. these stock ones were the only ones that would fit.

True, provided the paint is in decent shape and the engine still gets adequate compression and not burning too much oil.

The engine looks awesome, will we get to see it in person at Nojoqui later this month? (see socal board re: Nojoqui falls BBQ and cruise)
