The swap meet 396 I put in my car last spring is lots of fun but hard to keep cool on 92 octane. On top of that my t400 is showing some wear so I've decided it is time to make the car a lot more road friendly.

Also on for this winter is redoing the interior and installing a vintage air a/c and custom autosounds stereo system. That along with the suspension upgrades I did last spring and I'm sure it will have a lot better street manners. It might even get good enough mileage to afford driving it some this summer. I'd love to have it done in time for CB05 but don't really expect that to happen.

Will certainly make the car a much more confortable, less finicky, cruiser.

I think the rest of the combo will pull fairly strong to 6k but I'm wondering if I would be happier going with an airgap because from what I remember the 2.0 pretty much goes flat right at 5k.
