has a 2bbl carb,and a Hedman header. Car has been lowered approx 3 inches all around and is running US Chrome wheels with 14" on front and 15"on rear- front disc brakes have been converted to 5 lug--rear end is a 8 inch out of a early Ford Granada. Runs single exhaust out under rear bumper.

Front and rear bumpers have been relocated closer to car.

Future projects-If I don't sell the car I will install a small block Ford V8--either a 289 or 302 CID.
