This is the first time around with it. Under the hood sat a 302 roller block punched out .030 to a 306. I fitted a C-6 tranny  out of an E-350 van. That son of a bitch could take anything youd thro at it. A few years down the road I hooked it up with MSD 6AL & Pro billet distibutor, Edelbrock airgap intake and 1.7 roller rockers. Damn what a difference that made but knowing me it just wasn't enough. As you will see.

Swapped out 7.5 with 2:73's for a fatter 8.8 with 3:55's. I took this axle out of a 87 Turbo coupe. Also fitted on the rear is a set of Wilwood Dynalite 4 piston calipers. A set of upper and lower Hotchkis control arms and Eibach springs makes a huge differance on handling.

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: http://www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.html hopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!
