Re: Letter from Joel Rosen
One of these days I will find it. I have a ton of old stuff in my parent's basement that I need to sort thru before they throw it out. I have mentioned this paper a few times,and when I find it I will probably start it's own tread here.
Just in case you were looking for something specific,the best I can remember was that the name of the owner that had the conversion done was something along the line of Emelio Marciano from Patterson NJ. If I remember correctly the car started life as a 1972 blue base model 307 automatic powered car (VIN would have been 1Q87F2N). They kept the original 10 bolt(not sure if it was a factory posi or the added the posi) and put 4.10 gears in it and added the Superbite suspention. I believe the trans was swapped to a th400. It was called a Phase 3,but I think it might have been listed as 475 hp not 550. I think it was a 10.25:1 LS-6 crate motor with a cam and Torker intake on it with a 3 barrel 950 carb and fly eye air cleaner. I believe it had 15x10 Turbine mags under the wheel flares,it had S.W. gauges,and I believe a wood steering wheel. he job out the door with the Motion stripe paint was $10,600,that was just the conversion. It was done in 1976.
