Stan, does the new owner participate on this forum? If so, who is he. If he wants to remain anonoymous I can respect that too. Just wondering if he might be at Carlisle this year. I know Minnesota is a long distance commute.
Sheesh.......
Engine:
Conservative build looking for torque rather than hp (4,800 lbs.).
In short, everything new with Comp Cam Extreme+, .030 over 10.1:1 pistons, Holly 750 , Edelbrock Performer being some highlights. A thousand and one nickle and dime stuff plus over 20 hours of dialing in carb and distributor.
Clutch: McLeod clutch, hydraulic T.O. bearing and I fabbed a master cylinder. I also fabbed up a new clutch and brake pedal asembly.
A-833 24 spline 4 speed, Hurst Comp Plus.
3.55 rear.
Above the purchase price, I put over $10k into it doing ALL the work myself, (nothing farmed out) and the guy that bought it put in another $5k+ over the purchase price and did all the labor himself.
To be show worthy, it still needs a paint job which he'll get around to doing in the future.
It regulary eats new Challenger Hemi's for breakfast with no sweat.
Any chance you could share a little about the fabrication of the pedal assembly?
I agree.The only thing I'd change is the scoops...as in delete them. Just not right on a New Yorker.
I would like to find a program somewhere that I can post a picture of my car, and have the ability to try differant paint colors and body modification to see what it would look like.:yaayy:
Too bad they didn't go the cardboard route to see what it would have looked like first....
Use double sided tape.......
