1964 Pontiac Tempest two-door post coupe. 3400 lbs. Original Headliner, 107k miles Just purchased on 04-02-05 1973 YC 455 with 1977 6X-8 400 Trans-Am heads, approx. 9:1 compression, Accel HEI Ignition, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake with an Edelbrock Thunder Series 800 CFM carb. Holley electric fuel pump, Factory chrome valve covers, Hooker Super-Comp headers. Transmission is a turbo 350, B&M Quicksilver shifter and the rear is a 10 Bolt limited slip with 3.55 gears. Centerline wheels and tires. The rears are 15x8.5 with a 235/60-15 tire. The fronts are 15x3.5 with a 165/15 tire. 14.75 @ 100 mph quarter mile time. Top speed 125 mph

I just got the motor back from the machine shop. It's a 455 bored .030 over to a 462. It has forged pistons, around a .500 lift cam, 9.5 to 1 compresion, roller rockers etc. etc. I'm hoping for 500hp and 500 ft lbs of torque on pump gas.

Just added a 81 Camaro hood scoop and 2002 Pontiac Sunfire buckets. Future upgrades console, MSD 6A ignition, Ram Air Exhaust manifolds with 2.5 inch pipes with crossover Flowmasters and electric exhaust cutouts. K&N air filter, Relocate battery to trunk.
