Mark,

How I managed not to blow it up is just pure luck, and with help of the 3:73's I am sure. Original engine still purrs like a kitty today...

Phil,
I also consider myself very lucky for not venting the original engine, That little solid lifter engine Revs extremely
fast, especially with a missed shift at 7 grand. I finally wised up and put a REV limiter on the car. You have a lot
of self restraint, It must be hard to not take the car out for a ride to “Clean out the Carbon” I am going to have to
learn some Self Restraint and “Not Drive the Car” when my Gold L78 is finished.
