    They are called Soft 8s. They are made by Pacer. I have them on my 69.5. You can get them in Chrome as pictured or Black.

    Yes it definitely looks like a monster. Hard to see, but it looks like you didn't modify the shock towers. I bet it sounds loud and nasty too! How long have you been working on it?

    ya it annoys people u could say and people always pull up next to me and ask "whats under the hood". the towers are notched a lil bit and reinforced with the roll cage bars and other metal added to the towers. the set back on the motor helped alot. i can get to all the plugs,and the headers come out from inside the cab.its been about a long 12 yrs off and on money and time are always a battle.i bought the car when i was 18,it was suppose to need a lil work and then drive. turned out the 302 was blown and it turned into this. this was the first car i ever bought
