Posted this a bit ago on ClubNARP. Meant to post this here in World too:
So after some really odd timing and minor hiccups in the shipping department, The Phoenix (my 73 teener that I used to call "Chumbawumba" in honor of its insistence on running on 3 cylinders) is physically on its way to DeLand, Florida to be reborn as a 3.2 /6 with steel GT flares and perhaps some surprising other little goodies. Series9 is doing the build. Should get there around T-Day. Good holiday to start this sort of project methinks. We are planning a long-term build, most likely over a year. In the meantime, I'm sure we can all keep up with the progress via Series9 webcam once it's there and things get going. I am very happy to be on this road right now, and am looking forward to showing her off to everyone. It will be worth the wait, trust me.

Joe posted these pics in the main build thread over on NARP, but they're so damn purty I had to post them here as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
and... She's going to be twin-plug as obvious from the pics, distributorless ignition (haven't decided on the computer yet but it will be custom-tuned obviously), GE-60 cams, JE pistons at 10.5:1 and very possibly ITBs. And don't get me started on the oil cooler arrangement, tail lights, paint ... yeah, it's going to be dead sexy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Series9 doesn't mess around. |
