    Weld a length of chain to it and sit it on the front of your uncles Dominator. Get yourself an 8 and start with something worth while

    well while the heads are off.... get them ported and shaved, 1.8:1 rockers and check the valve seats and stem seals while your there.... should give it a bit more go for a fair price
