    Oh yeah, if i ever change to a 302 that's just what i will be doing, using the 'ol spray bomb on the engine, tranny and engine bay. Quick, cheap 'n' easy, just the way i like it.

    i had this sixer built for my 70 but my 73 needs it more. it has flat top pistons, 30 over, three angle valve job mild porting, larger valves, and a early model cam w/o all the smog settings. im hoping for at least a 120 hp engine in stead of 95 hp.:hmmm::rolleyes:

    I wish my car only had the bare minimum wiring and hoses instead of the birdsnest of mess criss crossing my motor.
