  • Vehicle Overview

    Sbc 400 code CTA with a 5 speed. Rear end is 3.73 with 255 MT streets. Converted clutch fan to electric. Holley 750 UDP 4 barrel on top. No HP tests other than what I could find from parts pages. 500 was what the previous owner claimed. I plan on gettin to a dyno for accuracy. I've done some intake and exhaust work and relocated the oil filter to engine bay. 5 point chassis support underneath it. Rebuilt ring gears after a couple bolts shot out the pumpkin. Installed a new bumper cover with all the air dams.

    Future Plans

    Though the paint ain't bad for an 87 upclose you can tell where the clearcoat has worn. Quality of life things such as lock switch covers and other misc Interior. New headliner and Guage cluster be it stock or something aftermarket. Proper speedo cable for the drive train (72 is 55).
