    Finally on the road!

    Thanks! The motor is a 400 inspired by an old Carcraft build. 10.5cr 440source stealth heads, pretty mild cam. 727 trans that I built from spare parts from a buddys racing leftovers. The car is a tribute to my dad's highschool car. His stories got me into the hobby at a pretty young age.

    I just used them on my 400 with the stealth heads.. They seem good.

    I added the only pictures we have of Dad's. The pic on the right is the day he bought it from his cousin in 1976. Pic on the left is the day he got it running with a 383 and rebuilt 4 speed.

    Thanks! I wrote the whole story when I posted this then I hit the back button and lost it all. Haha! Haven't felt like redoing it yet but, in a nutshell, the stories of my dad's highschool cars got me into this hobby. One of them was a yellow 65 Satellite so, I found one and have been working on...

    TTI Header Question...

    TTI Header Question...

    TTI Header Question...

    I might have found a reasonable deal on TTI headers but, there's a catch. I have a 65 Satellite with a B engine. The headers are the #383-178 for 66-74. Are they way off or is it just a matter of dinging a pipe or two? I imagine it could be more of a floor clearance issue too. I've noticed other...
