never been out of my shop. I bought it late 2015 as a roller that was set up as a small block car. All my go fast stuff was big block stuff so I started setting it up for big block. The car did a huge wheelie and must have suffered some front end work so I sent it off to a buddy that was into chassis type work. I dummied in a big block so he could also make headers for me. When the car came back I tore the engine apart and built it more to a nitrous combo. Ported the B1 heads and intake, and built a 1.69 low gear power glide for it. Installed the engine last June while racing my black duster weekly. During that four years I had numerous health issues. Urinary track infection that needed an operation, wore a bag for several months, gout, coronavirus, knee issues, and a couple more issues. Other than what my buddy did I did 100% of everything else by myself on the ground. Rough sport at 64 years old but I still love it so I hope to continue for years to come. At times I envy my friends that pull their engines and transmissions and get them back four months later rebuilt but I will quit before I do that.
