The V12 has a constant running injector......all three were clear coat volunteers and all are peeling in the Northern Nevada sun.....minor issues on electrical, Lucas still in evidence. No major fires......

Back a few years back, CA allowed 350 V8 conversions. Really woke those things up.....heard a rumor that they weren't allowing that anymore.
Gee, those are promising.

There is a sweet SBC conversion FS in Venice with a TPI Corvette in it for 3K. I'd have bought that this weekend if the Carrera were finished and ready FS. I drove by the bodyshop and the car is still parked where I left it last Monday.

I guess I'll have to drive by tomorrow and see wtf is going on. It's not like they are waiting on parts. It's only a $573 job.

Wait, maybe that's the problem.

Maybe I should jerk it out of there.
