Description:

Engine:  351W bored & stroked to 427 cu. in., with 4340 forged crank, probe forged pistons, forged steel I beam rods, canton 8 qt. oilpan, comp cam gear drive, 4020 comp cam, forged alloy roller rockers, edelbrock performer intake manifold, edelbrock performer heads, demon 750 cfm mechanical secondaries carb., msd ignition with 6al box & billet distributor with centrifugal advance.  Reverse rotation edelbrock waterpump, 140 amp powermaster single wire alternator, all balanced & blueprinted.  Also, McLeod flywheel, clutch, & pressure plate.  This engine is rated at 500 HP & 525 lb ft of torque.

Transmission is a tremec TKO II.  Differential is an all aluminum case with Tbird internals.  Everything is new on the car, no junkyard or donor parts.  I spared no expense to make this the best possible coupe anywhere.  I also added a billet 3rd brake light to the rear spoiler as well as a hazard flashing light circuit.

You will notice the interior shot that I have engine turned the dashboard with 9 instruments ie. vacuum, volts, fuel qty, clock, oil temp, water temp, fuel press, oil press, and hour meter.  I also installed the highback rally style seats.

I did all the work on the car with the exception of the body sanding and painting.

I am enjoying the car very much, and it is an eye catcher everywhere I drive it.
