Now....the motor...not a race motor.
It is a Oct 2, 1969 block. 1970 440 6 pack short block with INDY heads, 10.5-1, Hydraulic lifter cam. MSD Dist, MSD 6 AL Digital box, TTI ceramic coated headers, Edelbrock Aluminum 3x2 Intake (1969 Chrysler model)..correct Holley carbs. 2500 flash converter. Reverse Pattern Manual 727 Torquelfite. B&M Rachet Shifter.
I ran it this past weekend at Famoso and it ran consistent 12.10's @ 112mph shifting at 5000. Motor and tranny was rock solid. Went down the track on a wire. I kinda expecting those ET's. Pretty much a street motor, which is fine....(for now).
Car can, of course, handle upwards of 1000HP motor and it is built for it.
Probably left out some stuff.
