This is my 1975 Chrysler Centura that i am undertaking a full car rebuild from ground up.
It is fitted with a 360 chrysler small block , 727 auto ,a 31 spline 9" with a romac full spool and 4.11 gears.The car also has a 6 point chrome moly roll cage fitted , weld draglite wheels.
I only took this car to the drags once and that was when i 1st bought it and the car ran 12.6 at 107 mph , and on inspection of the engine once i removed it i found 2 bent conrods and 1 broken piston so 12.6 was good.The car has been removed from normal road use for the ground up rebuild and i will try to include pics as i go but it will be a long process so keep checking back for updates.
