Most of the problem was with the wife when I brought it home unannounced and put it in the driveway behind her van. She thought we had guests.

Front bumper has to go!

Wow, I didnt know that I was 'fairly wealthly'!

I've seen it done on a CRX before. Looked OK.

I live just a little over an hour north of Pittsburgh

Looked for quite awhile for my '79, only option I found was a re-cover for about $800.

Street or off-road?

Really a good choice if you have your own gas well !!!

There is a stroker version of the 4.0L motor too (makes a 4.6L). 260Hp @5200 rpm - 295 ft-lbs @ 4000 rpm. Its a bit pricey. Info on quadratec.com website. Looked at it for a '97 Wrangler. May want to check out Chevy's inline 5 cyl from the Colorado/Canyon line (H3 also). I've seen some interest for Toyota truck swap (getting rid of the 3.0L V6). Like 240 Hp and lighter weight than the 3.0L, I believe they are an all aluminium motor.

I dont recall dimensions but the 455 is bigger than the sbc. I put a '70 455 in my old '75 Nova and it filled up the engine bay more than the sbc did.

I dont think those are same as mine (the Hayashi's are alot nicer). hese have the Itall Racing cast into one of the spokes - If I can find my digital camera, I'll snap another pic. Thanks for the link, I'll keep an eye on it.

Lookin' good!!

I'd like to find 3 more of them. When I sold the Fairlady, I was supposed to get my wheels back (but never did - yet). I have the 5th one that was the spare.

Here is a pic of the one I have. Its a 14"x6.5". Would like to find others like this.

Anyone familiar with "Itall Racing" wheels ?
