    well it has a mexican block 302 bored 30 over, 70 model 351w heads ported with triple valve springs and 1.6 roller rockers..torker 289 intake,750 dp holley,headers and the other normal stuff. the tranny is a built c4 with a reverse manual valve body and 4500 stall. rearend is a disc brake 9 inch with 4.86 gears with a spool..ive only had it for about a week and im slowly gettin it back to where it was when it was racing. i have done away with the cragers in the rear and went with a 15x8 draglite,now i have to find some matching ones for the front..it currently has all lexan windows but im about to put a regular windshield back in it and leave the rest lexan.about the only other thing i can think of is the fiberglass hood and bumpers

    Nice looking car. If you think about getting rid of the Cragers, I might be interested.

    whenever i get all the welds on i will snap another pic..as far as the cragers, they really arent in very good shape, and they are 14 inch too,thats the main reason im changing them.
