I love the look of the 180's!
Where does your exhaust exit? Seems like most people have to give up the A/C for the pipes.

Very nice PD,
does she make that Formula 1 type "whine" when the motor comes on the cam? I love that sound.
I don't know. That you need to hear from a distance. I remember the GT40's in '65 at Daytona. They didn't whine, they had a scream to them only a '40 could make. I whine a lot. Does that count?
Did the manifold for bolting the Webers onto the A3 heads come from Kelly C?
No it's a Hall Pantera manifold. Small port to match the heads.
Had it dyno'd yet?
Well it sorta makes 460 at the wheels without the nitrous. I don't like my car strapped down waiting to explode like that.
I built a 377C with A3 heads for a client back in the '80s, 450 ft/lbs torque, 500 bhp. In the '80s! That was unheard of in a street car back then. But this guy spent all his lunch money on A3 heads, NASCAR block (that came with a billet 3.75" crank), Reid cam. I was jazzed I got to work with such expensive parts. But when we dyno'd it, I alsmost peed my pants. Wahooooo!
Try it from behind the wheel. You point it, punch it, hang on and check your Depends
By the way, WELCOME TO THE DTBB! Glad to have you aboard.
TY kindly sir.
Your friend on the DTBB, George
