I think I am nuts. Gas prices going through the roof and what do I do? Build a new motor instead of getting a more fuel efficient car! Too much work and not enough play made me a basket case
or is it too much play and not enough work made my brain like mush
. Either way I have slid down the slippery slope and there's no turning back now................ Just gotta go up the other side (That's why I need more power
) To climb a lot faster.

Now I am not an experienced wrench monkey to know the difference between this part being better than that part... but wow those pistons look sexy!
You know, the ill-informed would look at this build and ask why. Most of us here know exactly why...
Because you can!
Good luck, watching with interest.

Holy cow HI98GS
You're going to run out of highway to drive on with this setup. Who needs a stinking interisland flight when this will do
