Update on the MassIVe 79 vert
Here's a view of the front windshield install.....Man what a PITA that was at 1am! Here's the rear window install....part two! After the fiasco with the first attempt at painting the frames black, we decided to have them re-chromed. The silver paint is so bright that the chrome almost looks body color anyway :agree:

Beth, bug windshields are a PITA anytime of the day, or night!

26 MPG is average for most 2270s..
The 2.9 has a best of 33 MPG, it averaged 30.3 over almost 300 miles two weekends ago.. Thats even with 52 IDAs.. I swapped it to 48 Dells to see what happens for MPG and to get some drive ability out of it.. Between a 3,000 pound clutch and a pair of race prepped carbs the car can be a handful, especially in the middle of a corner..

That's impressive for such a large engine on carbs. Was you're 3 litre that frugal on fuel?

The 3 liter shared the same case, bottom end and even camshaft.. Ig got a best of 25 MPG with the billet heads and didn't make as much power.
The MPG and drive ability as well as power from the 2.9 combo is directly related to the twin plug heads and the capability of running north of 10.5;1 CR on as little as 89 octane. This is the smoothest running and best behaving street engine I have ever built, hands down... As soon as I removed the IDAs the drive ability was literally just as good as my FI cars.. Dells: Gotta love' m

Sweet video. I finaly got a chance to watch it. That is one nice car. I need to finish mine and get it back on the road. I think I will set aside time this summer to get it done. Your video has motivated me.

Thanks guys.
It did feel good last weekend...cruising thru the mountains....top down...sun shining.... But, this might be the last "project" for a while. It gives me a whole new perspective when I check out other people's cars at the shows now. It really is a labor of love.
