I was just excited that it was running decent so I threw the hood on and took a spin around town. The fuel door, quarters, hood and side skirts need paint before its presentable.
But yes, it does drink gas and at almost $4 a gallon here I doubt I'll be able to afford driving it nearly as much as I'd like to.

Ive still got a handful of cosmetics to take care of but I've been driving the car around locally to work the bugs out. It's a lot of fun with the LSD rear!
I need an alignment, some exhaust rattles fixed, and a balanced driveshaft and I should be good to go.
I got about 65 miles to $40 in gas... I think I'll be driving this thing once or twice a week at most until I strike it rich, my commute is about 40 miles.

i saw this the other day an instantly said that is amazing i need to do this to my coupe... so just arrived today was my chevy 400 small block... i have some questions about motor mounts... maybe dimensions and fuel set ups
One thing we forgot to do was write down mount dimensions and placement. I won't be able to come up with accurate numbers until the engine is out again.
My fuel setup is very simple.... Replaced the BMW pump with a hard line down into the tank. Factory line to low pressure electric pump mounted under the car where the factory fuel filter was. Then into a holley pressure regulator and into the carb. I left the factory vent there just cut it around where it comes up at the firewall. There is no return flow so the return lines can be eliminated.

Just a suggestion dump the quadra jet and get another carb.
