my Low dollar 318 hop-up project
Pretty cool stuff,and the most interesting thing I've seen here in quite a while. Honestly big $$ cars bore me to death.Their out of reach of myself and most everyone. I like what your doing! It's easily done with a few simple,cheap tools and parts. I might be able to help a friend who is thinking of purchasing a mint 1975 more door with a teen. I told him"BUY IT!" ....

Rob,
With Your Humble indulgence, I would like to add the below,
'tinfish' started out as an 'P' package '67 Barracuda cookie cutter car---
273, Carter 2 bbl, 904, 7.1/4 rear rag wheel, P/s, a/c ,drum brake Mustang/ Camero
Market share challenge design :violent1:
Ended up an 318 ,with late 340 heads (71-73 smog heads) mechanical lifter/ rocker valve train from an Commando Engine.
Tp-141 TRW cam, Ld 340 dual plane intake (mounting holes elongated for fitment) Carter
600 Comp series, Home wired Gold box ign to replace the dual point Mallory, 8 3/4 open axle
from an 'taxi B fury' (minor spring pad cut & relocate of course) Challenger T/A individual
tube cast iron 'headers'.
Windage Tray , Dual Remote oil filter set up , with bar and plate oil cooler from a CHP Polara,
Kelsey Hayes 4 Piston up front, Residual check valve (rear) removed from the Manual brake master cylinder, (read balanced braking on a budget lol).
And the best for last, an 'Small block' 727 with Truck Planetary gear sets :glasses7:
