The entire underside has been down to bare metal, drivers side front floor pan and 4spd hump installed, seam sealed treated with rust encapsulator then sprayed with Upols graveltex.. engine- 72 340 block .030 over KB pistons-stock forged rods with oiling mods for the pins all arp hardware. Forged 340 crank .010/.010 all balanced. Heads are ported J heads with 2.08 /1.60 stainless valves. 62cc. Compression is 10.8. Hydrolic 509/292 flat tappet cam new springs retainers locks etc. comp cam roller rocker arms trend pushrods - strip dominator intake / 850 QF carb. ARP main studs W/ windage tray - ARP head studs.

Exhaust is American racing headers stainless headers 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 with merge collectors to 3” tti X pipe with areo chamber muffs. If your going to do the body(which was my plan eventually) I painted the engine compartment. It will need both 1/4s rocker panels trunk floor and tail panel. I have DS 1/4 - inner/outer rockers - and tail panel all AMD that go with the car. Also included will be the factory twister hood, an extra grille, 28x9 slicks on centerlines, E brake cable kit. 3” tti tail pipes. The heater controls and fan work, the rear defogger works the wipers work. Car gets a lot of attention everywhere I go with it and it runs very strong. I’m in the process of changing the rear gears to 3.90 or 3.73 also with a spool so it’s more drivable on the highway. YPrice 25,000. No trades. Tell me what you think don’t be afraid to make an offer
