How are your headlight pumps holding up?  |
LOL.
This is a Coupe too, T-Tops.
4 Speed Car, Muncie.
I had a head problem with the OEM motor, and had an engine built by a respected builder, in Colorado Springs. Vortecpro, Mark Jones.
I did the install myself. Had the trans rebuilt at Box and Gear in Van Nuys, CA. McLeod Clutch, AED (Holley) Double Pumper, Isky Cam. Bastardized Mid Length Headers going into Magnaflows. Engine dyno showed around 450 at the crank with comparable torque levels. Small Block. Probably one of the last Mark is gonna build, he is a big block guy.
In short, the car is a money pit. Cam is a bit rowdy, so there is a few vac issues with the headlights. I replaced all the actuators and cans etc, got new hoses and installed some of it, but am still having issues with my lights. They are the bitch on these cars.
Wife and I bought a cabin in the Mountains, so the car project has sat for awhile. It runs like a scalded dog, still need to do some tuning on it, but it'll scratch easily through second. Honestly I'm a bit scared of it!
