Well we have started to finally redo the whole car.
we are going to strip it bare and restore it to better than new .
paint was decided for me Baby blue.
rebuilding the rearend trans looking for a tubular k member

We are still trying to figure out how we want to increase engine RPM. we looked into reducing the the crank to clevland journal size and use spacers but havent had to much luck with machine shops trying to figure how to get this done right.

Dad suggested if we go to a dry sump it should help the journals under high RPM use. we are going to solid roller lifters to get rid of the hydralic rolls at this time also.

I've looked into dry sumps and saw there used in dirt track (along with all forms or racing)so I thought Chris or some of you could educate me on dry sump systems. I'm a little concerened about the oiling for the turbo's which i have draining into the pan right now.

also we will be using only 20% coolant in it this time (LOL)
