OK Findings to date are:

It looks like the motor is a 2.2T but I am suspecting it may have E or S cams. The car pulls so strong to 7,000 that I have to wonder. Also, the intake and exhaust ports have had some porting done. The exhaust ports are close to 35MM in diameter and the intakes are close to 33MM.

I have the Webers rebuilt with 60 idle, 130 main, F1 emuslion, 185 air correctors (but I am installing 180's tonight), 32MM venturri. All 6 barrels are pulling equal vacuum.

I was driving the car some just to warm everything up and start the break in process. The car pulls very strong through 3 gears(7,000 indicated on the tach seems effortless). I did not push it harder as the speed was building faster than I was comfortable with at this time. The first few hard runs emitted a lot of smoke but the more I drove it, and the HARDER I pushed it, the smoke cleared. I suspect the rings are starting to seat. The car begs to be driven HARD!

The only two items that are keeping me off the road are the lack of brake lights and the alternator that will not charge. The brake light switch is on order and per my Pelican order status it is on the way. I plan to take the alternator off tonight and try to find a local shop to test/rebuild it. If things go as planned I will be able to drive this weekend.

I wish there was some way to bottle the aural pleasures of the flat six singing at 7,000. It even impressed my son who commented on the sound.
