Thanks for the compliments, guys...

It has FRPP 'P' headers, gutted cats, and ratty Blowmasters with no tailpipes. 2.5" throughout.

Yeaa!! Awesome vids man, that fucker is quick. What kind of exhaust are you running?

[Freshmeat]

Oh- and it's a silver/baby blue. I think someone once referred to it as ice blue...

[Freshmeat]

My primary drive tire is on metal threads. Gonna swap the tires and then you'll get burnout.
...and before someone says it... I did not almost get hit by the Explorer. There was plenty of room... just a bad angle.

Nice Vids!! That thing has an awesome note! And I never realized it was silver...for some reason I thought it was darker.

And where is that white smoke I was prommised??? Huh! Chicken out or something!?

Enter the Chronicle

Pete organized all the threads involving this build into one massive Chronicle at my request. This thing even puts Steve's Vast Chronicle to shame...
Thanks a lot, Pete. If I can do anything to pay you back, just ask!

[Freshmeat]

Newp. They're going on the white wagon once I do the HO conversion.

0k thank you.

[Freshmeat]

Sorry- didn't see this post!
The smoke is Seafoam that I ran through the vacuum system. Helps clear out the vacuum lines and the valves and whatnot.

Onto other matters...

When I installed the beehive springs I had clearance issues with the E4 aluminum valve covers, so I had to order tall covers. They came in Friday and I finally found time to install 'em today. They clear the upper just fine. There's about 1/16 of space between one of the vacuum tubes and the VC, but it clears.

...then I tore one of the upper intake gaskets. So no driving it until tomorrow.


Pictures to come ASAP.

I saw the vid of your car what was up with the smoke? is everything cool or is it just oil burning off the hot stuff? Other than the smoke it was super bad ass I have allways wanted to put manual trans in the police car.
