Engine:
Original HP2 block bored 40 over. 11 to 1compression, runs great on 91 or 93 thanks to 440 Source aluminum closedchamber heads, quench was set @ .035 . These head look completely stock and didwonders for drivability and idle. Hooker Super Comp headers. Car is originallya 4 barrel but now has 6 pack and works great.

Having grown up with these cars and owned this one for 33 years, I have never had the needto get it inspected to verify its authenticity. Numbers on block and transmatch cowl, radiator support, VIN plate on dash, fender tag and drivers doorsticker. Interior was originally light blue and is now black, no build sheet. This is nota rotisserie restored vehicle but is an extremely presentable, well maintained,solid very drivable car. Thanks for looking at it.Provide email and I will send more pics.
