.40 350 block, cleaned up vortec heads, 220dur/470lift Erson cam, RRs, 570 Holley Avenger, Hedman Elites through Dr. gas X to delta flow 40s, Th350, 3.73s

Well so far I rebuilt the front end, as you can see I had manual (drum) brakes. I have since installed a power disk brake kit. Now i want to tackle the rear with tubular control arms and a budget disk brake swap. Its got hotchkis rear springs already, just need to get that front end down.
Still undecided about what wheels to run though.
