Sure is, don't expect your rods to last too long, i'd be looking at some stiffer valve springs too at the very least.

Take some time to go through this thread, if you haven't signed up to this forum, then do it ... there is a wealth of information on there.

Will you settle for a 90% installed (90% left to finish) FFS install.

The interesting bit is my homebrew remote clutch reservoir mod, which allows for sensible clearance between the intake and the clutch master cylinder.
Street='94 with FFS Coldside. Sold :(
Race='97 with AVO (soon to be Absurdflow) and GT2560 <--- sod that... LS1 conversion underway!

Try a little Autosol on the aluminium cowl plate and radiator.
Comes up a treat.
I only spent 10mins on mine - needs another 10 and it will look terrific.
Also works well on the heat shield.

Good to see you've actually turned a few spanners on this little nugget.

Interesting mounting of the IAC unit Pete.

Beautiful coil setup.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
