gpauwels0820's 1974 Chevrolet Corvette

350 ci engine bored out, roller rockers, highrise manifold, 850cfm carb, hooker headers, radical cam, MSD ignition, shift kit in rebuilt tranny, new torque converter, and puts out around 500hp at the rear, with 373 rear end.

Side view of the engine when we test ran it and put it through it's test phases up to 6000rpm. Straight pipes, sounded like a nascar.

Front view of when its summer time. I put on the other hood and add a scoop for better air to fuel mixture with the added summer heat. This way it wont die on me at stop lights... because of too much fuel and not enough cool air.

Side view of my winter hood, L88 hood. Air filter just clears the hood by a penny thickness.

Rear view, can see custom exhaust. This will soon be changed to side exhaust with electronic knock off's so i can go to straight pipes whenever i want to with the push of a button.

My all American Racing mags! Love these rims, and they wont fracture from too much torque.

Just got some new pictures. It's been forever since i have been able to get these so here they are. I still am in school full time and have not done any new modifications. However in the next 4 years that should change.

Love your car!! I liek the scoops, always have. Sorry it has taken so long to respond. Yes some of the Javelins were considered Muscle Cars. Mine is getting an engine swap from a 258 6 cyl to a chrysler 360 so it will have a lot more power, possibly more than my Corvette..lolLisa
