Hi Bob, That's Uryk Dmyterko's site. Bought my SS Exhaust system from him a few years back. I got a 35hp improvement from his header system ... alone! Also, his subframes are second-to-none .... and they "fit"! He's a great guy! I'd do business with him in a heartbeat. Didn't know he's doing 5-Speed...

Hello Chris, It's always a pleasure meeting another 'Friend of Bill' :wink: From my experience, whatever you pay for your 'fixer-upper', plan to invest 4 to 5 times as much in restoration! IMHO, it's actually cheaper to purchase one already restored at 'fair market' value. In most cases, the PO who ...

Hi Bob, I've been running a JT-5 gear box for 5 years now, and I'm extremely happy with the swap. I my case, I swapped out a worn out Moss box, so the difference was very dramatic. Now, I've heard some real horror stories re; 5 spd swaps that have left folks bitter and disappointed, and several thou...

You might want to consider a less tradional, but more reliable approach that is quite a bit less expensive.. I would recommend looking into an aircraft fuel pump like Facet's 40105 - 12V Neg. Ground, 2-1/2 to 4-1/2 PSI Max.,30 GPH. 1/8 x 27 internal pipe ports.. About $33 USD. See it at http://www.a...

Hi Harry,

I've had great success with ITG air filtration systems. When I was running SU's, I used their system that was specifically designed for triple SU's.

I now use their system that is designed for triple Webers, which I have adapted to my EFI system.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
