    The 383 is finally going in!

    My car aint going to no showroom so i just painted the areas with some minor rust. Fuel system done with some electric work left (fuel pump). Next up is power steering and ac pump i guess. Just received my dual 14" spal fans aswell!

    The 383 is finally going in!

    I'm so slow but finally im getting something done. Installed my malpassi fuel regulator and started to mount the fuel pump and return line to the tank. Can i use the original vent pipe on the tank for my little hose and air filter?

    New oilpan + one piece gasket help
