D-A-M-N!!!!!!!!!! Very nice job. What a feeling that must give you to be in the driver's seat of this very bad 'velle. Glad to see you retain the Lakewoods.

Describe the drivetrain as you have it now.
Love the Grotto blue too!!

Sam, When I bought this car it appeared to have been maintained with spare parts and no money. I tried to salvage as much of the driveline as possible. However that was tough to do. The B.B. is now a .030 over 402 block with 11.5:1 compression, a big solid lifter cam, and original G.M. 840 Big Port heads. The trans is an M20, not original to the car but I rebuilt and reinstalled it. The rear is still the original housing, G.M. carrier, and Ring & Pinion. I installed new bearings and seals and away we went. I thought I might have som regret not using a larger displacement motor to start with, but this combo together makes plenty of power for a sreet driven car.
