Yep, over powered.
Here's tommoparman here on FABO. His car still sports most of the original paint, vinyl top and some interior pieces. He raced it back when it was a original 360 car. Now it runs 8.70's at 150+.
cool car but way too fast for me... i would just like a high 10 car that is still a true street car..
This is the one DVW is putting a big block in.. probably today honestly... this was back with a stock 360 block/crank and i believe rods...
Damn, that old all door is flyin.

Off center a bit

My baby V8 is currently at about $1,500 in parts:
Engine was $300...
D4B intake -$400
4BBL Air cleaner $100
Balancer $30
Fan $20
Fan Spacer $20
Heads (rockers, springs, rods) $400
Complete gasket set $50
Forged crank $200
A few hunge in "special" tools... -ISH
Machine shop costs will be interesting to determine.... Hot tank the block... Have to find someone yet.
If I have to go with overbore....welll then bets are off.
Piston ring set at .020 will be about $600
Still need wiring harness (estimate $300) ignition stuff (Hop) and radiator ($600 +/-)
Where am I now??
Oh CRAP
Looks like Ramen noodles are on the menu.
Radiator should be bout $200 get a aluminum ebay one.. Mopar joe (on youtube) uses them, they fit and he hasn't had one fail yet... I always figure $1k for machine shop.. if you are just getting a cleanup though it should be way cheaperYikes...

500 for a set of .020 cast pistons (i assume thats what they are) sounds insane to me honestly..

You know, usually most anything in the gasser style past 65 or so doesn't look "right" somehow, but you nailed hell outta that thing. It looks great.
ahhh k.. nevermind then
Yeah.. looks like 273 pistons are a bit more and hard to find
Yeah well, I'm slackin these past few days cause I'm nursin this hurt back. I near bout couldn't pick up the tv remote for a couple of days.They spend too much time in the pokey to keep up with Rusty.
ahhh k.. nevermind then
That's me... obscure and expensive? Sign me up!
K.. i'm sure you have explained why before but i gotta ask... why the 273? is it a numbers car are trying to keep stock?
Oh... that might make a modicum of sense...
