Ill spend more doing you're set up now. Because I'll have to buy bumpsteer spacers too. Pretty much the same set up exept for the difference in the struts. Zx are more in. Quote Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yes!!! Stock rebuild l16. 4speed unfortunately. I think it doesn't take away from the appeal. Brett dropped it of today . Waited between showers to bolt it in. Thanks again Brett. Pure muscle. New hoses,fuel pump, fuel filter, thermostat , and rad cap. I don't want any problems in those areas. Car had sat for a while. Remember guys stage zero... Quote Link to comment

Looks cooler I think. oh by the way where you get the dowl pins for the flywheel. I just got mine resurfaced one is missing the other 2 were beat to fuck when he pulled them out! I LOVE THE PATINA on this car its perfect!!!!! Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hainz I don't know if I want to crawl back under there to do that. I like it. I tackled the engine bay. It's ready to fire up first thing in the morning. Battery on the charger. Atom drained it helping me out with the 69 dash on a 71 car and harness. End of night Took this while sitting telling atom if front markers were working. Took a while Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 There is nothing unfortunate about an L-16 Phil. It is a great engine and runs exceptionally well. Like 620green said, it looks like the car that started Ratsun! Love it! Quote Link to comment
