In the mean-time, I've also been working on this:
2010 Hyundai Accent. widened steelies, fabricated 3/4" rear sway bar, 1.5" lowering springs, removed intake silencer, 35mpg.
Ultimately, I can this getting the floor cut out and a V8 put in..... but not yet.
The '77 Silverado is still insured, just no longer daily'd. |
I like it. It's efficient enough vs the truck that it pays for itself + has enough cool factor that you can walk away from it in the future basically driving it for free in the interim.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
