Foot of snow expected here in the Great White North tonight.

Exhaust, headers, heads, cam, intake, engine mount, tranny mount, differential mount, oil pan, shocks, U-joints, half-shafts, rad, and everything in between is out. Now it's just a matter of putting everything back together. Hope everything goes back in without any issues

It does sound pretty scary when you put it that way. My 74 hadnt run since 84 when I pulled it apart in 2001.

You guys missed the point "perfectly running car"...

Once Lars worked his magic, I had 210 rwhp. I should have left it at that. But for some reason it's never enough.

Most likely, I WILL be doing it again, who am I kidding...
