    Just a bunch of mis-matched, thrown togther junk. Std 302, TRW pop-ups, some obsolete cam we bought on close out, something like .580 lift, .335 duration, called for "latest head mods available" four speed, steep gears and a light car. Plain old 72 heads, heavily ported and milled a bunch!
    It had a C6, and now I know they really drained small blocks, we went from a 4 speed in a buddies car and it slowed down almost one second in the 1/8! I moved the rear springs in and had 10.5" under it. Car was a blast for almost no money.

    Rear springs were moved in, mini tubs, 28x10.5 slicks. Now the car is full tube chassis, Datsun 280Z struts in the front, but not finished.
