That is cool! Tell me more about it! How good does it run?

Internally stock except for a .060 overbore from who knows how long ago. Edmunds finned aluminum head I picked up at Hershey in the early 90's for $150 (don't expect to get one that cheap today, last one I saw on ebay sold for over $1000). Offy dual-carb intake (still available new from various vendors). Dual carbs/adaptors/air cleaners/linkage kit from Langdon's Stovebolt. Carbs are Holley/Webers that were OEM for a Ford Fiesta. Had to remove one of the three return springs on each carb to get the throttle effort right (way too stiff before). Single 2" exhaust with a 30" Smittie glasspack. Fluid drive converted to straight 3-speed stick and conventional clutch. Original 3.90 gears.

How does it run? What I've done is mostly for looks, but the dual carbs did perk it up - more than I expected. Dual exhaust would probably help, too. Runs good for what it is, but any new four-cylinder crackerbox will outrun it.

You have a good start with the flatty and all of it's goodies. You dumped the fluid drive, for the standard, which is good. Did you notic that when you shift into high gear that the car falls on it's face and eventually gets back into the power range? Put a 36-37 Mopar 3 speed in it. It is close ratio and you will whip those brand x 4 bangers. You will have to notch the bell housing and box it in , but the work will pay off, and you will have 3 on the floor instead of 3 on the tree.
