It didn't run bad.... I put a 4.56 Sure Grip in it, along with some cheap-*** slapper bars (didn't know any better), a Lunati "Riddler" cam, an electric fuel pump, and some 7"-wide Stock Eliminator M & H's on the back. Blocked the heat risers (under the carb), made a cold air pkg, and installed a 3,000 lb. pressure plate that has the cenrrifugal weights removed. I could power-shift it like crazy....
I think it was a high 12-second car on the street (with the slicks, which O drove it on, all the time.) Probably ran 106-107 mph...
I lost a race to a new Kawasaki 950 that had a 4-inrto 1 header, but it was really close...
That's the only time that car ever got beat. There were lots of cars around that would outrun it, but I picked my battles carefully... :)
Tons of fun in that old heap!
