SoCal Car ****

Love the Austin gasser, and i'm glad you mentioned the 440. I guess i didnt look close enough, i would have swore it was a small chevy. Kudos for doing something different!
Its a stroker too, 512, 6-71, hilborn mechanical injection. That's a mock up block in it, he used to be a custom car painter in the mid 60s, had a shop on whittier and everything. But, the engine that IS going into it is chamelion painted. it shifts like crazy, and is just insane.
*another interesting thing about the austin is that it has a rack and pinion steering that he (gary) engineered in his garage.
*ANOTHER thing is that its an HEI conversion. all of the ones you see today are the prototypes that HE built. he showed me all of the original blueprints and stuff. He is a legend.
