Thought so. I dont see him beating it like a step child either.

My last 10 or 12 ht rods all had electric pumps so I am out of touch. Heck I had an electric pump on the supercharged Harley.

Let’s be honest.... he’s gonna put it in the ditch the first time he taps the throttle.

I like that it’s not chrome too. That’d be awful.

I’m hoping to convince him till after. He’ll total that car, pull the engine and stick it in something original patina. Then he can get famous like me.

May have to at least pull that quarter out so I can bash some room in the inner fenders for the new meats.

Lmao. Yeah right just means you probably haven't thought of everything you will need. Kinda like making a repair around the house anything worth doing will likely require multiple trips to the hardware store. So your hot rod will require multiple orders from summit, jegs, local spped shops etc. They are never "done"

Yeah I work with a guy who put a sbc in a Nova. He had all kinds of problems he never would have imagined.
Almost like putting a BBF in a Mustang lol. There will be something that will trip you up along the way

I'm on another forum with the mustang build and my comment on a similar thread was that if it were easy the forum would be full of snowflakes!
