Lunajammer Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 One of the things I was hoping to see in Salt Lake this year was some of your work first hand and up close. Even though you make this stuff look easy, I know you draw from a lifetime of knowledge. So I know this will be a classic Teresi home run. I'll be following.

my80malibu Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi Gabriel.......yes thanks. I can't Imagine why you wouldn't want to do it this way. The pipes would look way better with a downward flow out the back, of course the carbs catching Bugs, and stuff probably wouldn't be good.
