Re: new engine
We're right there with you. We had mid to upper 40's last week and now we're right back to single digits again. Good thing is the sun seems to be rising earlier and setting later so eventually the temps should start rebounding!

Re: new engine
YESTERDAY WAS UP TO 60 a super nice day got to take the van up the highway for the first time, I cant believe how much power this new engine has, shot me back in the seat and went up to 80 like nothing, I want to break it in before I hammer it that much again, it was worth all the work and money changing over to a 4 brl. carb and using headers, lots of power and sounds good too, with everything new or rebuilt i'm not afraid to go anywhere in it now,

Re: new engine
60!! BRRRRR I shiver just thinking about it. LOL
Glad to hear it finally warmed up enuff for you to take her out John I know it must have been driving you up the wall waiting to wring her out after all the hard work you have done. It's like a kid at Xmas getting to open his gift then mom tellin ya to wait until summer to play with it.
your pretty much dailed for your big road trip now.

Sorry, I don't have one. I was just thinking that cold air will benefit everybody. Wasn't trying to sell you one. Mopar dual snorkel cleaner is the first one that comes to my mind with hoses to fresh cold air.

Re: new engine
that's a good idea, i'll see if the junk yard around here has something like that, I still have the 3'' tubing from the 2brl. I could make one from a single snorkel,,, thanks JanV
