GREAT INFO,Mark!

Keep it coming!

This question is not really engine related,but as far as PS tech goes,are urethane body mounts,engine mounts & suspension bushings considered legal?

Can you post some pics of your 71 T/A?

Show us the rest of your HO.

The engine shot in the magazine was COOL. (it's looks so...,er....,well..., stock?

I will have to try and remember to post some pictures when I am home. The front sway bar pix in HPP PS Prep School article is of the HO does that count? The rest are mostly from my RA IV T/A, is that a fair substitute? If you envision the blue over spray as white on the bottom side they are the same... Ok I am trying to get away with being lazy.

I have poly graphite bushings in the suspension of my HO. The car only has 30K on it and I left the stock body mounts alone. The car was always stored and they were in perfect shape. You could change them though to poly ones if you choose. Same with the engine mounts. I used fresh motor mounts when the race motor went in.

Mark, as always, great info...I really enjoyed this comment:

"Sure is fun to beat a big rep high compression motor with a low compression motor that has a broom stick for a cam"

That's priceless...

Thanks again,

Mike

Wow, great thread! Think I'm going the PS route with my RAIV 70 GTO. Have almost all of the engine components assembled (need crank, carb, dist), so time to start doing a bit more research...

Thanks,

Scott
