Havent really put a lot of pics on here of the 60. It's really growing on me now. Got all the starting/overheating/stumbling issues behind me, spent some time tightening up the suspension, and finally got it off-road at Logans Run. Today I did a little cosmetic update: Matte black grill and headlight surrounds.

Some interior and engine pics.

TBI 350 - 4spd auto , 35" tires, SOA. Those are "Euro spec Lexus" seats.

No heat required now! Runs solid and smooth at 185-190 with AC on full. Overflow was over filled. And there's a crack on the cap (new one on the way)

Just in case you were interested, a big block will bolt right in there. You can have 572 cubic inches noooo problem.

(Of course, then you have to drive with the heat on) :D
 
It's doing okay for itself running just under 10 mpg on 93 octane. I think I'll skip the big block for now.

Wowzers. I'm making a few more horses and getting 12 when I behave.
 
This is a 20 minute highway commute mostly. Hard to say how accurate that is, because the mph is so far off. (55mph = 67ish)
Actual figure was about 8... so about 10 was my guess. I'm sure a set of gears would help.
 
Awesome 60, sweet Lexus seats in checking out some BMW seats. I need to park my 60 next to that and get a feel for some 35s!
 
when are you going to give that motor a kick in the balls much better mpg and power await you

Agree .... but I believe with a rebuilt ratchet mechanism we could smooth it out.

It’s better than it was when I got it. Tightened the linkage and the mount... fully functional just clunky

Eh. The term “well enough alone” comes to mind. Something that the biscuit two week fiasco taught me well.
