I like a challenge but I'm not interested in throwing away good parts in exchange for lower performing items.

The hot rod is powered by an Edelbrock headed 440 wedge. It's got a custom port injection intake of my own design, 1700 cfm throttle body, and 120 lb injectors. The ignition is distributorless and controlled by the EFI system.
It's street manners are so nice that I drove it from DFW to Green Bay, WI on the Hot Rod Power Tour.


Back to the carbine....

I went to the range today with my friend. We had a good time sighting in his new Remington 308 bolt gun. I also ran the 1954 Marlin Model 88 until the firing pin broke. I put all 30+ rounds inside the 9 ring at 50 yards. I'll have to scrounge up more parts to make dad's old rifle run again.
When I pulled out the carbine, tragedy struck. I left it's ammo at the house.

No biggie. The new parts will be here in a couple days. I'll have to put it together with the new stuff and try again.
