Engine is a 71 400 block, bored .030. It was rebuilt in the late 80's but sat in my dad's shop until last year. At least he kept it oiled and turned over every once in awhile. It has stock rods and crank but all new bearings, forged TRW pistons, #62 Ram Air III heads with stainless valves, Comp Cams XE274 cam and valve springs, Comp roller tipped rockers, Comp lifters, pushrods and timing chain, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Edelbrock 750 carb, Flow Kooler aluminum water pump. Distributor is an HEI with a Pertronix kit. The valve covers are early '70's Cal Custom. I'm leaning towards ceramic coated long branch manifolds instead of headers for a neater look. I would really like to do a stroker kit and fuel injection, but that's just not in my non-existent budget. The car is getting built slowly since my wife thinks renovating our house comes first.
