The engine in my car ran very well, the only thing done to it was a new Holley 600, and a performance alloy manifold, recommended by a well known de tomaso expert, who has been a fountain of knowledge. I have removed the engine, to refurbish the engine compartment, so what would you do to a 40K mile engine before putting it back, it didn't smoke, and oil pressure was good. The clutch release bearing is shot by the way to give some idea of the only fault I have found so far.
please bear in mind that I don't want to improve power at all there is more than enough for my ability already, but cost is a problem the Money fairy doesn't come by each month anymore with a bag of gold but the Pension is the amount that is available, so I have to be a bit careful so what are the major points I should be looking at on a 40K mile motor to maintain performance for a further considerable amount of miles please, best Peter.
