History:

The Engine in this Car is a 468 big block. The lower end is pretty much stock, but the top end is built to the hilt. This way it keeps the compression low, but has a lot of top end.

The transmission is a TH350 with a manual valve body with GER 4000 stall. I'm running stage 1 Flow Masters with 3 Inch Pipes and adjustable Drag Shocks on the front. It has sub frame connectors and Drive Shaft Loop. I'm still working on getting the cage installed.

I have had this car for 17 years. I bought the car from a used car lot. When I got the car it had a crappy 350 Engine that was out of an old dirt track car and it was a factory 4 speed car. I drove that way for about 4 years and then I started racing it for the fun of it at a little track that did mostly heads up racing. The more I did it the faster I wanted to go..

A Funny Story:

I think the funniest thing that ever happened with this car, was after I had put a SB 406 in it. I raced this motor for about 2 years, then one night I was running at this little track, the car was running the best that it had ever ran, I pulled up for the 3rd pass of the night, launched it off the line, and before I could even shift to second gear it just shut down.

When I opened the door to get out, it was gushing oil from underneath. I had blown the engine! When I was getting it on the trailer, a spectator came up to me and asked if this was my car. I told him it was, and he handed me a Cam Plug that had blown out and hit him in the leg. That night I slung 2 Pistons through the Oil Pan, cracked the Bell Housing of the Transmission, broke the Crank in 4 places, and the Cam... Well it came out in little pieces!

The block was totally shot, the 2 rear cylinders had totally come apart. It took me about 3 years to totally restore this car to its current state. It's painted black with a blue pearl, and has "454" in flames ghosted in on the hood scoop.

Present or Future Projects:

I just bought a 78 Z-28 that is a total basket case. I got the interior shelled out, and have been ordering all of the interior trim and carpet a little at a time. I should have it up and running by march 07!
