The interior is original style, with black buckets. A B&M Quick Silver shifter works the gears, while a full 3" tube with
3 chamber flowmasters make up the exhaust system.

The engine is a 468. It's got oval port heads, comp extreme energy 284 cam, SRP 10:1 pistons. It has a Edelbrock Performer
RPM Air Gap intake with an Edelbrock 750 carb on top. Ignition is a Small Body HEI and a MSD 6AL. I also made the aluminum
cowl induction pan with rubber seal.

These are my new better fitting wheels, they are 16x7 with 215/50 front and 16x8 with 255/50 rear, BFG T/A radials in the
front and BFG Drag Radial for the rear. They are not the exact size I want, but they will do for now until I get some 17"
with proper backspacing to use the largest tires possible. The front suspension icludes poly bushings, big block springs
with 1.5 coils cut, Guldstrand upper control arm relocation modification, KYB shocks, Hotchkis sway bar, all new wearable
parts, and poly subframe bushings. The brakes are full manual with front disk. The disc brake set up came from a 73 Nova
using a 67 camaro master cylinder. I added new calipers and Power-Stop crossdrilled rotors. The rear includes a 8.5" 10
bolt with 3.73 posi, mono-leaf springs and poly bushings. Competition Engineering subframe connectors that have been welded
in keep the car from flexing with all that big block torque. A 3" driveshaft connect the rear end to the 700R-4 transmission.
Virtually everything on this car is new or rebuilt.

This picture was taken at the Car Craft show in St. Louis at Gateway International Raceway. The girl is the winner of the
swimsuit contest they had. The engine I had in the car here was a 396, I bought it used and got screwed on the deal, it also
had a 350TH. So both came out in favor of a 468 and 700, money well spent. The wheels are 14" old style american racing torque
thrust.
