Projects and Build-Ups / Re: Let's try this again

So far I've replaced the steering column, lower shaft had bad play, and cruise control switch, and the seats. Put my clear front turn lenses. Little car had 2 different keys, so I'm going to put in the matched set from a donor. Next planned project is the suspension. I have urethane bushings, sway bars and struts from a previous car to go in this one. The struts will be my Ground Control/Koni 350lb f, 600lbr spring set with T3 camber plates. Hopefully funds become available soon for a quick steer rack set. Engine feels good, but the trans has a whine in 1st gear and during decel. Time to modify one of the C56s I have in storage.

New 2 to play with. 1987 sunroof. Let's see if I can concentrate on this 1 car.

100lbs boost? Look into diesel tractor pulling. the rigs there use stooped boost levels.

I think the bigger concern would be mixing with water, as the gasoline may try to separate from the mix. The ethanol would mix with the water quite well. As for messing your AFR with the minimal gasoline you'll be injecting? I would think not. Never know 'til you try though.

And finally, found some very old pics (that were very small) of a F40-type dual exit scoop design. I like this a lot but not sure if I can make it turn out so nice...

I've been collecting more pics of this and I'd like to get them uploaded. I'm sure I've said this before, but I plan to start on my reverse hood scoop by this summer.

E-85 $3.00 per GALLON, that's uh $1.50 1/2 gallon.

Wouldn't the plus ~15% gasoline cause issues with my ECU and AFR?
