I've always wanted to see what I can do with a stock Pony 1.6L unit, and I have a good candidate: the one with the 4G63 in it now had a mildly tuned (super-aggressive cam, lightened flywheel, and electronic ignition) 1.6L in it.

I'm moving apartments soon, so I found my old exhaust headders from a Plymouth Arrow. I cut the old flange off it, and made an adapter plate.

Today, I went over to James' shop, where him and his cousin welded it up for me: it fits perfect. All I gotta do now is clean it up, reweld it again, clean it up, paint it, and install it.

So that's taken care of.

Tomorrow, I'm headed out west (waaay past hamilton) to grab an intake manifold that will accept a 2GC Rochester carb. I will purchase said Rochester (a rebuilt one for $125, good up to 350 CFM) and port out the manifold, and put it all together on the engine.

So, if I do this right, I could be all done by the end of february, so as to allot time for other, more important projects, such as the G4CS build up.

I will post some pics up as soon as I get some double A's into my camera.

Recap:

-Portmatched IM w/Rochester 2GC
-Electronic ignition (recurved dist) w/blaster II coil
-Headders
-wild cam (unknown specs, but it has a lot of overlap, and 3/8ths inch more lift than the stock one)
-Lightened flywheel (12 pounds)
-Free flowing 2 inch with one muffler, dumps before the axle

This is going to be a sick (quick) buildup... my blue pony will aquire this motor.
