I am helping the family of my best friend who passed away recently. All proceeds will go to his family.
My friend purchased the car in 1987 with a 318, 727 and 8-3/4 w/3.23 sure grip.
CHASSIS
Direct Connection BB K-member and mounts
Front suspension rebuilt using stock parts during BB K-member install along with Lakewood 90/10 shocks. Stock manual steering, 340 torsion bars and torque strap
Custom 8 point roll bar with frame connectors was professionally installed by Dave Anspach race cars. Lightweight racing seats and expired RJS 5 point harness. Autometer 5 tach, water temp and oil pressure gages, bead rolled aluminum package tray and trunk wall, lightweight master cylinder, trunk mounted battery.
The stock A-body width 8-3/4 (489 case) rear has a 4.57 gear set with a sure grip differential, Super Stock springs (002/003), MP long race shocks and pinion snubber
Centerline Auto Drag wheels, 15x3.5 front with Michelin XZX tires (165SR15); 15x8.5 rear with MT ET Drag 28x10.5-15 slicks
Car is all steel and comes with a pin-on six pac fiberglass hood (Not installed)
Car body is in good condition, but has some rust around the taillights, trunk floor and quarters. Car has been garage kept since purchased in 1987. Car retains original Rallye Red (FE-5) paint with white 340 stripes.
Heater box, wiper motor and arms have been removed.
ENGINE
A 400 B-engine block (3614230-4) was bought from Herb McCandless. Block was cleaned and magged.
Indy Aluminum Cylinder Head Kit (440-1), heads milled to 65cc chambers and bowl ported
Block was bored 0.035, honed with plates, square decked and ARP main & head studs installed. A Muscle Motors 499 balanced rotating kit, including a MP 4.15 stroke crank, Eagle H beam rods and ROSS flat top pistons were professionally installed by Magnum Machine in Chesapeake, VA. Compression is approximately 13.4 (Race Gas is mandatory)
Cam Motion solid roller cam with specs of 0.718/0.693 280°/288° duration @ 0.050 was degreed at 107° CL
