I don't know what JeffP put on his car, or what it cost, but the cost per amp is comparable...and it's BIG. There is no substitute for size in a generator.

If you need 100 amps to run, in reality the alternator must be rated at 140 or...

After spending time looking at the situation rationally, I decided that owning a fuel burning engine that has a rated life of about 3 miles would be a stupid move. So this afternoon I sent my pal a check for $1350. I'll pick up the engine in the spring when I go back to see him. Maybe by then I'll have some idea what to do with it.

Wedge, me too! Hope he hasn't stalled on it or given up. Liked the progress he was making so far. A real inspiration to us all. I have to redo the floors in mine. Michigan and old cars usually don't go together very well because of the salt. Not going to go the sandblasting route though. Just cut what I see is bad and weld in new. Looking for more posts Mull. Thanks for what you've done so far. Good luck.

I will post some pics as soon as i can but im going to warn you shes not too good lookin right now.

I'm 6'3". With racing seats and custom brackets in some of my Z's I've had. It's possible to get low enough that it's hard to see over the dash. lol.
