Well, the 318 that was in the car since it
rolled off the assembly line, is out. The 360 motor that I've spent over a year
piecing together, has been in a year now, it has 600 miles on it. This page has been updated to
reflect the parts and modifications of the new motor. The most recent
additions include 4.71 gears, a Dedenbear Reaction Time delay box, line lock for
the rear giving me a "foot free" staging at the dragstrip, and
conversion of the front end to Magnumforce Racings coilovers. Next
is custom made 1 3/4"
primary headers from Lemon's & Willwood front disc brakes. Then its time to take it
to a chassis dyno for dial-in, then the track to get some timeslips!
Check out the VFN Fiberglass bumper & pin-on hood with A&A 5"
scoop.
It sits low with the coilover conversions, hanging tough in this 4th of July
Parade.
Satin Black with Chrysler Industrial Red, a sweet combo.
Notice the Edelbrock Pro-Flo air cleaner modified to seal against the hood.
