So the original engine was replaced sometime during the cars life. It was changed out with a 350ci out of a 1974 caprice. nothing fancy, just tubular headers, aluminum race rad replacement, holley 600 4 barrel and some dress chrome. she runs strong, but isnt as powerful as what i had in mind. The trans is the stock 4 speed B&W with a new clutch. the rear is the stock setup. sad thing is at about 80mph this thing is pushing 3400rpm. :-) can you say 8mpg?
