Tuners Chevy and Fiat

I have a 1998 Monte Carlo Z34 has a daily driver. It has 144,000 miles and is 100% stock. Probably wont mod that.
Then I have a 1976 Fiat 1800 spyder. It has a A LOT into the motor. Its bored .40 over, racing weber carb, lightweight internals, hotter cam, decked. Theres more but I cant really think of everything lol. I dont know the exact hp, but its probably around 160HP. I have TONS of restore pics if you guys ever want to see them.
Here are the pics:












Then my daily driver :

Re: Tuners Chevy and Fiat

It looks like you've put a great deal of effort into the car and it's paid off, what a superb motor! As said, we don't get to see restoration pics much on here, throw them up too when you get the chance

Re: Tuners Chevy and Fiat

wow that engine and gearbox looked brand new when you fitted it, the whole car is like new. i'd love to do a project like that, time and money mean its impossible but i can still dream.

is it just me or is there something very sexy about a young lady bent over a wing playing with an engine.
