Thanks for the input
That'll be a great help, thanks all. I didn't even think about the Exhaust issues. I will be using an exhaust from a old 74,two pipe style, and building my own exhaust from there. Over time I have collected a couple of 1500's, one in parts and the other out of a good runner. Ill drop in the 1500 with the orig 4 speed. The car itself is a 77 with a oil burning, low compression 1300. I do plan to get a 2nd X in better shape, but for the meantime I am enjoying tinkering with this one.
Winters are to long here, its been snowing the last 2 days now! Not driving weather!:mad2:
