Making some changes to the 454, 68 427 "215" closed chambered heads that are all done with bigger valves which I have probably mentioned before at one time or another...lol Also roller cam and lifters, etc., etc.
It will be very exciting to get it fired up for sure...... 
Had the 82 out today for errands, always a pleasure to drive....and since the Z is still down, it's a nice alternative.....
Your 79 looks fantastic. Really like the color combo. And the stance looks perfect in the pic. Yes, post more pics whenever you can. Would like to see different angles of the body and of course the interior, motor, suspension....just all of your 79....lol
And yes, "nothing like the Z", but then again the C3 is still in a class by itself. And as you mentioned, fun to drive.... |
Tom, driving an hour to work on the '74 for nine years is commitment. Sounds like a very nice engine is in the works!
Thanks for the kind words on the '79. I'll try to post a few pics when I can. Seems like most of my pics are at least two years old, since I acquired the Z. Anyway, it looks quite the same as then...
This one is behind my son-in-law's '83 911.
Overhead shot of the interior and engine compartment. I had the valve covers powder coated red to keep a black/red theme. (GoPro attachment is on T bar - makes for nice videos.). That's about it for now. Back to your story...
