                  Yeah, I bought it w/pretty much everything done to it except a few cosmetic things and the suspension.

                  The guy that originally owned the car was a DoD nuclear physicist, so he had plenty of money to dump into the car. He bought it to have fun carving through the mountains.

                  For $4900, it was a steal.

                      Any idea what the car dynos at, with the cams? Does that M42 have the dual stage manifold, or the E30 style manifold?

                          E30 manifold.

                          I hope to dyno it before TOO long, just for curiosity's sake.
