    Turning what became the family beater into this (http://www.davidson.smugmug.com/gall...50290531_etBA2 - these are really cruddy impromptu videos my friend took, but they give you an idea - oh, and that wasn't blue smoke when cold and that isn't valve tap you're hearing, I have no idea why it sounds like that in the video, if you put your ear next to the valve covers you hear no tapping...oh, and those are 2.47 gears it's running, when I finally get the scratch together for a 3.07 things should improve quite a bit - that's original color Glasurit paint btw) wasn't cheap either (and took quite some time for me to finally get close to finished). Now I just need to raise the redline (will bypass the 5950rpm fuel pump cutoff and utilize the MSD's ignition stutter to set the rev limit to 6400rpm which based on how it runs now should make this engine much happier), map my timing, and do a dyno tune of the mixture, just how much can the MSD cost? That laptop programmable box is like ~400, is there anything else I need to do the things I want?
