Steve .... congratulations !! You`ll have a ball . One suggestion since you live where you do . Get the heat shields for the primaries .... your feet will appreciate it . Also , if you get the
oil cooler , have them put a Canton
oil thermostat/regulator on it or you`ll never get your
oil up to proper temps . There was a major thread on that a while back . I`m in SC and my ambients are in the mid 90`s to low 100`s recently . Last summer , I barely got my oil to 160 degrees ... now 180 to 200 depending on how hard I run it .
BTW , a friend I grew up with used to have a black `57 Fuelie . Then he got his clock cleaned by a three deuce , Dontov camed , solid lifter Belaire , so off came the fuel injection and on went the three dueces , Dontov cam and solids . I got to drive that car everytime he lost his license ... which was on a regular basis . He still has that car , but it`s a Fuelie again .
