This is my decklid. That IS NOT a ricer wing. That was brand new in 1976. I have since changed the decklid. It was signed by Boyd Coddington.

This is my new motor.

 

I have recently made some engine mods. Here is the new setup:

Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake
Holley 600cfm carb w/ manual secondaries
ported cast 289 heads
Accel SuperStock plug wires (red)
MSD Blaster 2 coil
Lunati 292 Bracketmaster II cam and lifters
Manley Raceflo swirl polished stainless valves
CompCams roller tip rockers
S.A. Gear timing gear set (noisy)
rebuilt C4 tranny, with an "H" servo
3:55 rear end
bored .040
flat top pistons
high volume oil pump.

Looking at around 11:1 compression, and 385 hp

I went to Paradise Drag Strip in Calhoun, GA. My fastest time was 9.78 @ 71 mph in the 1/8th. That's with street tires, open diff., and factory torque convertor.
