That's a great write up and some sweet pics. What does all that equate to in the 1/4 mile? Just curious!

I sure wish I knew what you do about modifying the fuel and ignition systems.
I am working on a 1980 N/A body using everything from a 82 ZXT. I would love to clean up the engine bay for appearence but I don't have the confidence that I won't screw something up.
Maybe some day after I finish it the first time I will learn enough to go back at it and do it right.
Your car is very inspiring. I am at the begining of my project so everytime I get frustrated at how long it is taking I will bring up your car in order to realize it is all worth it.
Thanks,

Congratulations! Beautiful car -
I dig your engine configuration it’s my new Alpha example. Starting to research turbo set ups this fall for a hopeful turbo build up early next year.
