  1. The problem is there are so many variations on the V8 swap that what works for one person may not for someone else. N20Jeep didn't provide any specifics about his swap so how am I expected to give him specific information? That thread and the link in it contains several options that may or may not work for him. All he has to do is go out to the garage and get a tape measure out to narrow it down, then maybe call the place to double check.

  2. I stand corrected.

     

    But the numbers are very very few. I've seen a LOT of S130 cars in person, never once seen one that came without a rear wiper from factory.

     

    Yup. I think I read somewhere (and I could be totally off base here) that it was pretty much only the 79s that were stripped down. Mine is kinda weird, it was a 5 speed with R180, no power anything, no wiper. I think I just got left overs :lmao:

  3. The reason they didn't have rear wipers (the only S130 without them) is that they interfered with the spoiler, and they weren't about to modify the spoiler, so off came the rear window wiper.

     

    Not true, some of the early regular ones didn't have the rear wiper (like mine).

  4. Had a thought about doing it, but decided against it because there was no direct focus of airflow going into the carbs. By cutting it like that it seems that the air would just run over and under the filter and not as much would get into the carbs.

    I don't think it's any different than the filters that a lot of people put on triple webbers. I wonder if there is any difference with this setup. Loss of slight ram air effect vs. higher flow
