so good to have her back home.

It's been a long winter here in chicago. I got a good day to finally drive my car back from my parents home from storage . Kinda of a long story how my car did not stay in my garage. But it's home i got the new wheels on and drove her home it was a little over 30 degrees but she didn't miss a beat. This has been the longest i have not touched my car just over 6 months. I always do all kinds of work over the winter but i had to wait it out this year. The excitement is un exoplaninable i cant wait to put the engine in and finish up the trim work i have been meaning to do for years .

355 olds . Im looking for it to run 12's on the motor . The last build should have been there but it was short lived as it had some internal damage after the first season best pass so far was 13.3 @ 103 mph in the 1/4 mile. I have since gone with a bigger cam, better converter and bigger carb., it's also a bigger bore so it should unshroud the valves a bit . I'll die a happy man with a 12.9X . My friends are more excited than me lol. Currently there is a little 307 that has proved it's self to be a nice little peppy driver .

Sounds great. Who says Olds small blocks don't make power.
