Dam your L sure beats the heck out of my RS at least as far as engine power goes. Nice job, I too plan to motor swap... already have the suspension and brakes where I want them just need more power now. Post up some dyno or 1/4 runs after the 257 block and other mods are complete.

Subaru didn't make nearly enough red/gold combo cars. Nice choice on the wheels, the whole thing looks AWESOME. That car is definitely high up on my list of best L's ever.

thanks for the great words right now i am trying to get funds for some head work.. cause after thinking about it, i realized that i should do it now before it cost me double later

v7 heads or have my current heads ported and/or get some cams.
