Vaventura's 1973 Pontiac Ventura

This is my sleeper. It's got a pontiac 350 bored .30 over with Keith Black pistons, Mild Comp cam, Holley street avenger carb, and full Accel ignition. The tranny is a Cadillac 3 speed auto with a B&M stage 2 shift kit, B&M holeshot 2000 stall converter, all controlled by a B&M Z-Gate slap shifter. The only thing killing it right now is that I'm still running the stock gears in the rear-end(2.73 single leg, no posi). It's not much to look at but man is it fun to drive past all those honda boys. I tried to make it look like an old moonshiners car to sucker some guys in to raceing for cash, but its got dual 2 1/2 inch pipes so when I fire it up the giggs up. I tried to only put crome, trim, & accesories on it that you could have found on the market in the mid 70's to keep the old car look going.

To change the grill you would have to find the sprint style front end, possibly on a junkyard car or maybe try performanceyears.com and see if someone has one for sale. Mean looking car you got, joe
