Trw pistons- BRODIX-TRAK-1 cylinder heads.Harland Sharp Roller Rockers.Moroso-stud girdle,cam is a CHET HERBERT Billet Roller-with .645 lift -induction is by Edelbrock -Victor JR,fed by a Holley 830 cfm Annular discharge carb..Holley electric Pumps:.IGNITION is a MSD BILLET dist-MSD 7AL-2 BOX-exhaust is Hooker Super Comps.tranny is a Built Glide with a Trans-Brake :shifted by a RPM Activated:Dixie Electric shifted -Hurst Quarter Stick with a 4000 stall convertor- and Trans Shield...soon to be PRO STREET with a -NASTY-468 CI BIG BLOCK WITH OVERDRIVE .:yes::hurray:

This car was owned by the owner of Somerset Toyota down in Kentucky :" big fancy lot" they tell me he had a nice 69SS for the street and a 32 ford too "gotta love rich guys" The car needs everything its been a drag car most of its life has no wiring harness except to the engine it needs glass,weather-stripping a bigger tank than 5 gallons,..the doors are hollow so...it needs doors..:noway:...it could use a real cooling system ..My plans are to "STREET ROD ify it"...nice interior BRUTAL RAT MOTOR...windows...:hurray:aaah windows...:yes:
