First off Keith is awesome, he explained everything he was doing as he did it. The bad part came when he told me I had a blown head gasket!! OUCH!!! The motor was WAYYY down on power and kept overheating and pissing coolant out the overflow. They did a test for combustables in the radiator and it came back positive immediently. Bummer man, I was soooo looking fwd to being done with this project. I am consulting the engine builder to figure out our plan of repair. Crap day, man crap day.
Mod are as follows....
newly built 306ci, with old 289 heads (dont ask)
Professional Products Typhoon intake with 1" spacer
BBK 70mm throttle body
24lbs injectors and C&L elbow
MDS distributor and coil
