[Roadrunner528]

Ben lurking for about two years while working on the build of a 70 roadrunner convertible.
Original 383 b5 bucket seat 727 air car.
Started out going to do an original restoration, wife said she would not drive with out disc brakes so started looking around and ended up with alterktion front end.
Nice front suspension, so did not want the back to feel left out and decided to put street-lynx rear with disc.
Fancy suspension did not want to go to waste so started looking at stroking the 383 that escalated to a 440 stroked and finally ended up with 528 hemi with 710 lbs of torque.
Tans to be a built 727 with a gear venders to a 373 rear.
The beast will be fed by Fast 2.0 fuel injection.
Will post pictures later
Don

You have a wife that knows what disk brakes are?
And if that's not impressive enough, look what else you are doing to the car.

I am very fortunate to have a wife that can name all the specs on our old muscle cars. She learned about drum brakes long ago when we were racing around in a couple of the cars, she heated up the breaks on a 69 big block camaro and almost smashed in to me driving a 67 corvette tri-power. The next weekend the project was putting disc on the camaro and she was right there with me getting her hands dirty.
