It cost a LOT of time and money to restore one of these cars so set back and enjoy it. In time when you regroup (money and energy) just replace the carbs and intake with a correct set of WCFB's and a 270 HP intake along with a couple minor items and you will satisfy the critics. Who cares what is on the inside of the engine where you cant see it. They are not being raced as a legal NHRA or IHRA stocker anyway. If ya dont tell anyone they would never know.....LOL. The FI units are "stupid expensive" thanks to collectors so whats the point ? I saw the car at the York show and it looks great. So it isnt perfect.....Its come a long way in a very short time. Congratulations on saving a part of drag racing history. .
