You guys might know from my profile pic that I have a 73 Custom. the slant finally died and I got permission to do a v-8 swap. I've now got a 360 with x heads, Atomic FI, rebuilt 904 and rebuilt frontend. two years of work culminates in a startup today! thanks to all the guys who sold me parts, gave me advice, berated me for slacking and generally helped me out. Of course there's a laundry list of things still to be ironed out, leaks and wires and hold downs but I started it, broke in the cam and then did a burnout( it will do a burnout on the 14" skinny tire with the 7 inch rear for as long as you hold the gas!) to prove it moves. I'll see you all at the park shows this spring and next time you see a four door, take another look. It might be a better car than you expect.

the d-50 is the latest restoration. 1979 2.6 5 speed with paint, stripes, interior, wheels, the works. it looks fairly close to what a 79 would look like in about 83, after a few miles and a bit of wear. the other 73 is a donor car, I had to buy an entire car to get the shifter and the glass for this one. 4 door glass isn't being reproduced. not pictured is my '50 buick with the 320 straight eight and Dynaflow. its a good car but needs a new home as my wife chose to fix the dart rather than the Buick when given her choice of driver.

2nup350 what are the specs? Cam, pistons rear gears, etc...

stock 340 cam, 9.5 to 1 compression rear gears are whatever the slant had(too high for sure) as it's still got the 7 inch rear end that'll probably blow up if I ever get traction, not a concern with the skinny 14's though. The best part is the fuel injection, it starts quick, idles super smooth, doesnt stink up the garage and tunes itself so I don't have to hear about flooding issues or have to remind a certain someone to push the throttle down and set the choke before starting it up.

You should drive for uber or lift with that badass! Just make sure everything in back is vinyl/rubber so you can hose it out after your passengers **** themselves!
