It Runs!
Wow! After 14 months of tearing the car down to the frame and going back with a total rebuild, we started the car for the first time in 14 months! I actually got to drive it around the neighborhood although I got a few laughs! We took the car promptly down to the speed shop and dyno'd it at 394HP at the wheels and 424 F/lb of torque! That is before the 150shot of juice we are installing. What a thrill. This was the first time I drove it since I bought the 6cyl tired old heap! Keeping that much HP on the road is the next challenge
Thanks to everyone who helped with ideas, feedback and prior threads! This site has been really great. On Monday we take the car to get the front end put back on and the SS stripes painted on (black), then it goes to the interior shop for a custom black leather upholstery job and new seats. So....if everything goes well, the car will be 95% done at the end of this month! Whoo hoo!
