yeah the 288 solid cam, with a very lumpy idle is the dead giveaway, i'm getting a purge kit set up once the engine is back just for that little extra kick when they are trying to urge me on, also for the fact it cleans the lines. I got asked if it was turbo or a standard 6 when i was at the lights once with the car running, i just laughed.

yeah that's why i laughed, the car was running, i was waiting at the lights and he pulled up next to me and asked. I'll get some new pics once the engine is back in the car cause it's under a car cover with no engine in it. How about you buy the car and have it back infront of ur house again?? haha
