well when i got it, it had a casting number of 010 so it was a 350 it was a 4 bolt main i found out when it was pulled but it appeared stock it had a great timing chain in it and all but thats nothing really. with that and my 2.5 inch exhuast it ran a 15.666 shifting itself on a 100 degree day

now it has another 010 rebuilt 350 bored over but 2 bolt stock engine with my timing chain my hooker headers my holly intake and edel 600cfm carb. im waiting to hit the track after i break it in to see what it does now. but it also has a 3 inch exhuast now except the end of the y pipe is like 2.5. im a college student right now so i got what i had to get to be back on the road again if i had more money i would have gotten somthing better

The break in period shouldn't effect the gas milage at all.

that's just awesome! Plain and simple. So many people here have awesome cars, but they get away from the simple beauty of what these cars looked like when they were original (or close). You don't need a 2 inch drop and 18's too look good.

VERY nice!

hehe, 18inchboyds, that wasn't directed at you or anyone. Your car is Badazz too, I just prefer the factory look!! Hope ya didn't take that the wrong way!

no offense taken, The more i go to car shows the more i realize build your car the way you like , the only way you win shows is if you have a 69 camaro or 57 chevy so it doesnt matter much what others think .
