Here's a little summary of the car: Matching numbers car with M21 Muncie 4 speed, 12 bolt rear end with 3.31's. The motor is a 1970 replacement block, 4 bolt mains. It's bored sixty over and the heads have been reconditioned, with new springs, valves, roller rockers. Also has a street/strip cam from Comp Cams to match the springs/rockers/push rods, Hedman hedders, Edelbrock performer intake, holley 750 carb (vacuum secondary), MSD HEI Billet Distributor, MSD 8.5mm wires, Summit Racing Billet Vacuum pump, 2.5" Magnaflow exhaust. Should make around 425hp-450ft/lbs torque. Keeping it all cool with a Be Cool aluminum radiator and electric fans. I have been considering going with a bigger cam and a set of aluminum heads, but have not decided between that or a Procharger.

Dropped the car: -2(front) -1 (rear), Hotchkis Sway bars front and rear, Competition Engineering adjustable front drag shocks, Adjustable upper controll arms, Hotchkis boxed Trailing arms and factory air shocks in the rear. I put some 18" Centerline rims on it to take advantage of my suspension upgrades, and just because they look cool.

I upgraded the front brakes with drilled and slotted rotors from OPGI, stainless braided lines, and Hawk performance pads.

I plan on running it in the local SCCA auto-x events a couple times in the next year, and would like to get it to Spokane Valley Motor Speedway, and running it in the 1/4 for giggles.
