Sold the car to a guy locally who is going to put a V8 in it. Slow process. I currently have a Nissan 240sx with same engine in it and with Udo Horn put it in his Bugeye Sprite G/GMS "Bonneville Bugeye" (see build thread) 178+ at Bonneville. Past three years engine has seemed off from when it was in the 'Bird and I have been chasing my tail trying to figure why. Maybe have. Will see at Wilmington in May if all the ducks fall in a row.
