[DML] Re: Vortec Conversion

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've uploaded a pic of the Vortec to Renault bellhousing to #5939's
photo album. Have also uploaded a pic of the carb on this particular
installation (Edelbrock's 4 barrel is just an ancient square bore
Carter design, now manufactured by Weber. Edelbrock's name is a
sticker on the front, Weber's name is cast into the side). Note the
A/C solenoid, Edelbrock intake manifold, and lack of vacuum spark
advance (those are the ported/unported nipples on either side of the
PCV hose). 

Regarding Ford's 1.9 -- properly cared for it is an unbelievably
reliable engine. My ex-wife left with 250,000 miles on her odometer
(never went any deeper than the valve cover!), then of course promptly
sold the car. No power of course, but incredibly smooth running and
easy to maintain.
