[DeTomaso] Wilkinson exhaust

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Well I just fired up the Mach I, took it for a drive, put some gas in, 
stopped and pressure washed the engine compartment...

... and boy does it feel good, the engine that is.  Sounds good, feels 
good, really breathes with the Super competition 2" headers and 
3"pipes.  If I put this engine in the Pantera... I'm gonna want a better 
exhaust.

Needs a tune-up though.  Still it wants to go like ape-shit.
