You do have an
option today. Buy a nice looking car and put an Edelbrock
engine, four-barrel, intakes, etc. in it.
Four barrel ???? That would be a step backwards. I'm currently
running 3x 2 barrels on an Edelbrock designed intake. (original 1970 Dodge
Challanger RT convertible with 440 six-pack) Gas mileage? What's that? Actually
it's not too bad. I get
about 15-16 MPG on the highway. But you should see what the gas gauge does
when I put my foot to it and the second and third of carbs kick in!
I still get chills when I hear the blower on the 327 on Mad Max's
car in the first movie... didn't that have an Edelbrock manifold?

Thanks for that ;-)

I remember thinking that it looked like it had a 6-71 on it, and
Edelbrock certainly makes (or at least made) manifolds for suck-through
applications of the 6-71. However I also remember the blower being
clutched, which made little sense -- unless it was a blow-through
application with some sort of bypass for when the blower was shut
down.
Whatever. It had that nice 6-71 whine, which is what _really_ matters :-)

Do emissions laws allow this for newer car bodies? If one buys a 1990
Lincoln and stuffs a heavily modified 460 engine and C6 transmission,
pulled out of a 1972 vehicle, into it, is it considered a 1990 or a 1972
vehicle for emissions standards?

Nice car!

Let me guess, the needle moves to the left faster than mine does when
my 4V carb's secondaries kick in. :-) ...and I'll bet it feels good!

From what I saw on their web site, it appears that they
only build
Chevy 350 engines. However, I discovered that they make what appears
to be an extremely nice water pump that will work with my engine.
Thanks for posting something causing me to check that out!
