Engine estimated at 450hp
Engine was rebuilt and installed the same time as the gauges. So mileage on odometer is actual engine mileage. 161 miles.
Car runs and drives great. I drive it to car shows regularly. There are a few things that would help to change. A bigger stall converter would make it a rocket off the line but it drives fine with this one. It just pulls the rpm’s down when it’s in gear. It had junky efi when I got it so I changed to the only carb I had at the time. A Holley 500 2 barrel. Should really have a 4 barrel.
This is a really really good start to a nice street rod. Buy it today, drive to a car show tomorrow. It’s loud. It’s rowdy. Definitely a head turner and a conversation starter.
