    at the moment im just saving away planning what i want/need ect.. Personally i cant believe how good it is on fuel... one tank seems to be lasting around 600k
    s, mind you that's me driving it like a granny just to see how much i can get out of a tank.

    Looking at various engine rebuild kits and stroker kits at the moment... not sure whether to go the stoker route.. or keep it a 304 and look at a new manifold setup, anyone heard any reports on that new Trickshift Setup?
    Either way id need a new manifold setup anyway, and in the end it just comes down to money
