took it out on the road today a few times. these cars never cease to amaze me. the engine is a mild 383 9-1 compression with a lightweight flywheel & clutch and the acceleration is awesome, i can't imagine what some of you guys with the high hp units experience. so far about half throttle is all i can tolerate for fear of rear wheel slippage and speed limit breakage.

fixed the primary and secondary oil leaks and working on the trimary leaks, might have some head gasket leakage--shouldn't have used the elcheapo fel pro units.

I always tell people they are like a GoKart with a V-8. Tough to express what it's really like to push the pedal down, then try to unpucker your butt from the seat that it's clung to.
