here are my dual port heads for a 40 horse, they have 1600 fuel injected valves, polished combustion chambers, and are soon to get match ported to my manifolds.

here is my favorite thing that I own. Restored original 2 piece EMPI five spokes. And they are fully CHROMED. The back halves of them are currently being powder coated in "almost chrome" with looks just like polished alluminum.

thanks for all of the kind words you guys. And thanks for the warm welcome, it is very appreciated. I do have some other parts but. . . Im eager to see the kind of stuff you guys have over in your neck of the woods.


kustomkool - March 21st, 2003 at 04:43 PM

man those five spokes are mad and empi manifolds god you guys have got it all in the U>S>A.About as rare as Ive got is a Hazet toolbox and empi bits and pieces and 4 stud sprints{empi}but if youre after certain right hand drive pieces theoildrippers can help you out.

hey man, dont think that all this EMPI stuff just fall out of the sky like rain does. It took me quite a while to get all this stuff, and I'm still on the hunt for more (original pushbars, big button GTV steering wheel, EMPI eliminator shifter, Abrath muffler, etc. etc.) I do know however what I need from you, I baught some right hand drive stuff and the guy forgot to send stuff like the dash moulding, glove box door, glove box, and parts of the pedal assembly, and so far, he said he is looking for them, but I dont think he is really trying. I also need some ORIGINAL blinds for the back window for an oval, and for a 64. let me know what you can do. azgfk@hotmail.com
