hahaha yea having a blast with it...atleast its not the middle of the summer

Wow you have an 86 TPI with perimeter bolt covers? Must of been early in the production year, VERY cool

its not THAT uncommon. 86 was the swap year. vettes were the same way.

The pushrods didnt rub the heads or anyhting with the 1.6 rockers did they? A lot of the times you hafta elongate the pushrod holes.
