yea its a shaker from a 77 bird.. Im currently trying to find an air filter housing with the right offset so that the scoop will fit right over it and be centered in the hole, apparently when the person cut the whole for the scoop they were on crack.

:-)

that lane has got to be the slow one

Yes, It was built by Pro-Motion, there is alot of machine work done to it as well as cam, intake manifold, pistons, chip, and that sort of thing...

He ran 13.6 @ 107 a few weeks before i bought it, but its got a bug im trying to work out right now I think a bad sensor may be making it stutter...
