Man you are over the place with your comments, your going to gut a hood & use pins to hold it in place at your dreamed of speed of 150MPH, ain't got no money, on a budget, going to do this or that, maybe just replace the seals on the heads & see if that clears up you smoking issue, this is something that can be done on the car, is pretty cheap. you mentioned 1 cylinder was down 10 to 20 PSI
what were ALL the others, your just bouncing all around like a ping pong ball. I'm glad I'm way down south of you so I won't be affected by your high speed runs
so I'll just sit back and
All the others were pretty low too. Its no race engine. I'm just not a fan ov the small block Chev. Never have been. The ONLY positive, as i saw, with that engine is that they were stupid-cheap to build. Now even thats lost. Maybe i just live in the wrong place. EVERYONE here is building a Chevy. As i have mentioned several times, 150 is the goal. I'm in no hurry to peg the speedo just yet. Nice to have GOALS, you know? And dont worry, unless you're messin' around on the Prairies in a couple years you're in no danger.
you ain't going to hold 150 MPH & the hood will either blow up from the bottom or suck up, I used to run from Houston to Austin in a 65 and the tops of the doors would pull away from the body, the hood would
blow up and look like it's going to the sky, this was at 120 for short bursts = KEEP DREAMING
Well, i'm new to fiberglass cars. I'll figure it out. Do you actually have some constructive criticism, or are you just here to kick my dog?

Just being realistic, I did give some constructive criticism, you just haven't figured out what I said yet. I'm sure you will figure it out, but unless your budget gets bigger or you
really really figure out thinks I am wiling to bet $1000.00 you don't hit 150 MPH for your extended jaunts, will have to video you in your car & showing the speedo and mile markers
& I'll send it. beware my time is limited so the offer expires in 3 years.

Heh... 3 years is a lot ov time. Even in rapey BC. We'll see...
Fiberglass cars means FG bends under pressure, steel doesn't.
It seems C3’s get very light in the front at anything over 120mph (or so I’ve heard).
Yeah, much as i dont really like the look, it'll get some kind ov air dam up front, and some engine compartment venting. Might even experiment with some belly pan tricks... thats dirt cheap to play with. But this is getting way ahead ov the game here...
