Getting close now...

NB> Hey, I'm running out of cash here. I see some 1 and 5/8 " headers on Summit. I think I'll get them with my credit card and add some collector extensions. What do you think?
VR> You should be able to run under the index with them, but 283s really react well to a good header. Maybe a step deal with merge collectors, or a set of stainless Tri /Y's ..Eventually you'll want to go that way..

NB maxes out his credit card for a fuel pump, gas line , fuel pressure gauge , sample valve, tach, oil and water gauges, line lock, two gas jugs, and a low pressure tire gauge.

The guys put the car all together, fire it up , break in the cam with some borrowed 1.3 rockers. Sounds great.

There's a rumor out there that the local track will be opening for some Friday night T&T action, so we wait...
