Just bought a notch!

[mattmcdan]

I picked it up on ebay this morning, It's a 1990 LX 25th Anniversary 4cyl 5 spd. The car is a 1 owner with 70K miles. Should be a better candidate for my buildup than my vert' Sad news is I have to sell the vert now.

Anyhow here are some pics from the ebay auction.

Heres a pic of the engine going into the new notch!

I am going to send my Track Heat back to summit, and go carb'd, it will be much cheaper to build.

Do you already have the parts for the carb swap? mine started getting expensive, but i will always keep mine carb'd. I bought the universal throttle cable from lokar, the entire fuel system kit thru summit, an msd billet dizzy, 6AL box etc.... but for the ease of maintenance, its worth it to me.

im guessing you have carb knowledge considering the car in the background? if not i have a ton of links that might be helpful to ya

Nice notch, i like the screwdriver instead of a bolt in the engine stand.

I dont have anything for the carb swap, but It's nothing Im scared of. I am doing it right the first time. Also the car in the background of the engine pic is my 1965 Nova II w/ 496ci stroked BBC

 

[mattmcdan]

Anybody have a picture of an all white notch or a bright silver one? If so post it up please. Im considering those two color choices for this notch, mainly because its gets hotter than hell in south florida!

 

[Strype]

White FTW

 

[mattmcdan]

White FTW

Im about 75% sure on white 25% sure on silver.

Nice notch, i like the screwdriver instead of a bolt in the engine stand.

dont think ive ever seen a bolt in one myself. mine has a 4 inch craftsman screwdrive in it lol


as for the carb swap, the throttle cable from a 4 banger works nicely and hooks right up.

 

[nonglossjason]

Here is mine i picked up a couple weeks ago but i am considering going black.

 

[mattmcdan]

White looks good, It's cooler, looks sharp, and it hides any unsuspecting dents better! Thanks for the picture Jason.

Whoa.

[nonglossjason]
