This car has been a major work in progress. Started off as a tame Chevy 305 with a 2bbl TH200 transmission. From there, scored an Edelbrock intaked, a quadrajet from an old chevy truck, and a Th7004r out of a 91 Blazer. Also at that time added a 350/350 L79 cam. Car ran well, put down mid 14's and could really scoot. Summer of 2007 in came big changes into what the car is now. 383 with everything listed below, plus a 3 inch exhaust which dumps before the rear axle. This car is loud! Gets to 60 in no time at all, but with the high rear gear, has trouble hooking up. Looking to move battery to trunk as well as remove actual bumper behind the chrome cover.
Just last week...can run down and pass a 08' Vette; also ran a 09' Cabrolet 911 (Turbo) and put lots of ground between the two cars-and ruined the 30 yr old guy's ego after his purchase of a $100k car. Not afraid to run anything in this car.
