2020-10-02 17:39:14 UTC  

you need to put a crf450r motor in it

2020-10-02 20:28:03 UTC  

That’s a car I don’t think I’ve ever heard of...

2020-10-02 20:29:07 UTC  

Most of the famous 80’s cars were German and Japanese with the exception of a couple American cars.

The mustang died on me today while I was out in town, wiggled the terminal and it came back to life. Cleaned the terminals when I got home and it seems to be okay but the negative terminal is kinda loose so I may pick up some new ones soon

Very old ceramic coated headers

2020-10-03 03:45:02 UTC  

for it being old it looks good

2020-10-03 03:45:38 UTC  

I suspect that someone cobbled this engine together in around the late 80s

2020-10-03 03:46:06 UTC  

yeah. that holley thing sure isnt factory lol

2020-10-03 03:46:16 UTC  

blue block

2020-10-03 03:46:48 UTC  

doesnt the color of the block tell people the size of it?

2020-10-03 03:46:52 UTC  

No

2020-10-03 03:47:18 UTC  

Up until around 1974 or so chevy painted their engines orange, then they switched to blue. In the 80s they switched again to black

2020-10-03 03:48:32 UTC  

i thought it was for the size because i have seen orange 427's. never seen a blue block till now

2020-10-03 03:48:55 UTC  

Someone painted this engine the GM corporate blue color

2020-10-03 03:49:54 UTC  

that is a nice blue

2020-10-03 03:50:09 UTC  

I bought braided stainless blue rubber plug wires to match it

2020-10-03 03:51:06 UTC  

the distributer stuff seems confusing

2020-10-03 03:51:21 UTC  

im not as educated as i should be on the older stuff

2020-10-03 03:51:49 UTC  

It's a dying art

2020-10-03 03:52:25 UTC  

Hotrodding, manual machining, mechanical diesels, the old school stuff is all a dying art

2020-10-03 03:53:01 UTC  

yeah efi and the computer stuff has taken over everything

2020-10-03 03:53:06 UTC

2020-10-03 03:54:06 UTC

2020-10-03 03:54:24 UTC

2020-10-03 03:54:33 UTC  

"Journalists?" They're done, too

2020-10-03 03:54:39 UTC

2020-10-03 03:55:00 UTC
