In 1965 dad brought it home new 225 I was only 1 yr old.
So I grew up with it.
He died in 1985 and I got married, it was a fight to stop my wife getting rid of it.
I won now the kids are grown up and I have time and it's over due.
It's been in the shed since 1990 pulled down.
Dad wanted to put in a four speed, I put in a 5 speed.
Dad wanted timber so I have put inserts in the dash, I will be making a consol that will have timber and I'm waiting for the new timber steering wheel to arrive.
I have an offy 4 barrel manifold and Edelbrock 650 vac to go on. Also Offy rocker cover.
There are the extractors. A tip I learnt from one of the engineers who built and r&d the slant six in the early days said you will not believe what a difference 6-8 feet of twin extentions of the extractors will make before the final callector even twin muffs then join into one.
He said every now and then he would hit 6400 rpm with his 170.
I had to make up a new rear eng mount to suit celica box. I used front eye bush for rear spring prothane.
I have 2 inch lowering spindles and blocks for the rear.
In the eighties a few friends had 302 fords both of which on a freeway run yeah sure they pulled away at first but the overdrive pegged them back and I left them way behind.
Miss driving her bad.
Yeah I know it's a four door it's all mopar gave us here in Aus. It was a few years later we got the VF PACER I owned one that for you guys in the US would be the same as the 1968 dart I think.or road runner.
I am having trouble adding more pics "look at my gallery"
