Here are some pics of a 131 we've been building. It's an 1800 with our street perf cams, 32/36 dfev carb, gear reduction starter, distributorless ign system and our 131 header. It's a smog car so all of the emission equipment has to be installed and working. It also features a new aluminum radiator kit we'll be offering.

Mark,
Looks real nice. I like the header and the valve covers. What kind of HP do you think it will have? How about a picture of the whole car?

Nice and tidy! May I ask why an 1800? Didn't all of these originally come with 2L?

it's a 1978, so it came with the 1800

Looks great. What does the wrapper (outside) of all those goodies look like?

the owner plans to get it painted after the mechanical part is done. It's still in it's original white paint

Looks great. Has me thinking of a year round daily driver.. Many of the 131's about that are relativily rust free?

the 131s are pretty rare around here, I think they all got sent to the UK and Ireland

What gave it away, Mark? Debbie's bell bottoms or my hair?
