Re: [T3] Fastback motor buildup

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Success I guess would be defined in it running as expected and not melting
the car to the ground.
I don't know any names, however I did speak with Kelly over the Texas Bug
Stop, and he had indicated that he knows of at least a handful of people
running uprights in Fastbacks, and in particular one large upright in a
Notch.  He indicated that I may have to go with external coolers and such to
keep the temps in good shape, but that it is more than just possible.

Please realize Steven, I find this list to be helpful in most cases...
however I was trying to avoid getting any negative feedback from those
people that believe that you are making a huge mistake by not building back
to stock.  I'm not saying that you are one of those people...  but I was
hoping for feedback from people who have either evaluated this option
seriously, or have done T4 power with success.  It does seem that there are
at least a few of those on the list, and I would think that maybe a few of
them either considered T1 power, or attempted it.

Thanks for your feedback, no offense intended.
