[QUOTE="lindie, post: 8352, member: 1466"] love the intakes! dons is coming good again now, what with a succession of bodgy dickhead previous owners. a stripping of the paint tells a thousand tales and there was filler and treachery afoot and a 57 bootlid and ram type power steering with a not quite correct right hand drive conversion. it's now awaiting paint and reassembly though that isn't far off either. his best mate (now deceased) had a real thing for the late 70's/pre 84 vette but couldn't come at the price tag or the dodgy conversions. he bought and built a 56 3100 stepside with a zz4 crate motor, t56 borgie box and a dana 60 that although strong really sapped power. never held it back though as by god it used to move once you got it off the line. his son owns a 307 and glide 69 camaro basey that they repainted blue with the bonnet blackouts. was awaiting a transplant last i heard but that was maybe 6 years ago. i know what you mean with the two engine year wait mac as i've got cars that have been on the backburner for 7 years now and aren't advancing while i potter around with the rapide and other two wheeled distractions. bodywork is a pet hate and mates better equipped and proficient than i that are quick to ask for favours on their stuff are happy to let mine rust in the corner. out of interest, the big girl running an afb or were there other carters still kicking around like the wfcb by that stage? i have a 500 afb comp series on one of my toys that i love and a mates 340 LA has it's factory AVS and no looking back due to it's sweet nature and good economy when you're off the pedal. the new avs isn't a patch on the old.
