    Just noticed all of my previous PB pics are gone...can't believe I actually trusted those MFs even for a second.

    This is getting serious...quickly. Picked this up today. Radiator, oil cooler and fan all in a nice package. Fabbed up by some company in Prattville, AL called DUBZ. I was skeptical at first but they seem legit.



    Here are the solid mounts, engine mounting bracket and subframe.


    Slowly getting the old rust and paint off.

      Long time no update.

      So far I've cleaned up the carb, air horn and throttle plate.
      Ordered a new intake manifold with even channels cut between the primaries and secondaries (a picture will show you what I mean)
      Converted to mechanical secondaries.
      Removed old sound deadening
      Simplified the throttle linkage, not going to run a choke since this car will never see cold weather. I can deal with longer start times since it isn't a daily.

          No updates on the Rex.

          My Bimmer decided the cylinder 6 exhaust valve and the piston should be together. Now I'm rebuilding it. In the meantime, I'm learning a little bit of porting skills and the fluid dynamics-ish stuff to go with it. That should be a direct carry-over to this build when I get ready to do a street or bridge port.

            Nice! Damn shame what they did to that piston. Keep your head up.
