Tesoro is also in the process of getting heart transplant... First you see it... now you don't!

I actually "test drove" 3 other 02s before deciding which "heart" would be the best fit. There was the 32/36, the 38/38, and the fuel injected tii engine.

Tesoro originally had a 32/36 Weber when I bought him... but everything about his original set up was "tiresome"... The performance wasn't there. But it wasn't just the performance either... as mentioned in the earlier blogs, the whole engine and drivetrain needed some major TLC. And it's gonna get it! The plan is to upgrade to a 38/38 Weber with some very special goodies to go along with it.

Tesoro will be my daily driver. So with the new engine that I plan to have in it, and everything else that will go along with it... I'm hoping Tesoro will last another 40+ years!

you can see the Fjord peeking out of the engine bay in this one...
