Like they say, you haven't lived until you've built an engine.

Edelbrock Performer Series Intake, Edelbrock 650 CFM Carbeurator, Moroso Circle Track Valve Covers, SPECTRE Air Filter and Throttle Bracket, Summit Racing Roller Rocker Tips, Stock Cam, Crank, Lifters and Rods and I am using the stock ignition. I didn't build her up to much. I didn't want something that is going to drink gas lol.
