Jeffery---Yeah I'm hoping to have it at the Byron IL track on Sept 1st.

You coming??!


The Jeremiah---
I guess the purpose of the car is just a nice sleeper street cruiser. Kind of a ''in your face'' to everyone building $25,000+
15 second quarter cars while talking smack about my 80's B-bodies. I'm taking every bolt off of the car and painting it, and getting every bit of rust on it disintegrated. I want to have a brand new nice fast car when I'm finished for under 9 grand.

The motor is a 72 350 with 7a heads. I had a bowl blend, 4 angle valve job, and changed the exhaust seat radius from 45degrees to 30degrees. Performer Rpm intake, and bored .030 for some Flat top pistons. Lunati 318A3 cam.

Nothing too outrageous, but motor should be making close to 400 horse.
Here's the head flow numbers before and after the machine work.
Int. Ex. (Stock)
.100 55 40
.200 105 75
.300 148 105
.400 170 135
.500 180 145
Int. Ex. (Machined)
.100 80 66
.200 145 109
.300 185 147
.400 207 170
.500 209 180
My current carb is a Holley 650 double pumper
Gear ratio is a 3.08
Haven't decided on the trans yet. A th350 will probably gain me a few tenths, and a 3.73 a few more but I have a built and kitted 400 that I'm just dying to put into something. I'm hoping for low 13's
