Didn't get lean. I think it was just a bad headgasket. It was a victor brand. I used it because it came in a set off ebay Cheap, lasted 2 years. . Had not plan on this motor staying in the car this long. Just a quick build off an old stock block. Have another engine on a stand. Just waiting for late winter to finish it and put it in.
Got the head back on and just need to finish it up Tuesday night. Have a felpro 1035 on it now. More better.

It's back on the road. Runs very good. Be back up to see you soon Lee. Going to the dyno in a few weeks to make sure all is well.

Car looks great man. That Fel-pro 1035 is a good one, lot of the Turbo Ranger guys are using it, a lot of them are still blowing them too though.

The svo is back on the highway. Just hope I don't get nutty with it again. Looking at MPG with it now. Shooting for 35mpg on 93 octane. Only running 12 lbs of boost for it should be at 220 hp. Gear box is noises but that is from the shifter. Spec clutch is broke in and bites like a trap. I can slip it some but it is all or none at a stop light. The flywheel has some to do with it. At 9 lbs it is quick to rev. up. Very happy with the budget beater. Matt and the turbo he built acts very well with the lower rpm cam. RR. Still a quick little beast.
Come on Lee!
