Engine, Chassis, etc.

Still a 255 cid V-8 with C-4 (looking for a 302 or 351w at the moment...)

Exhaust modifications - later model tailpipe and Hi-Flo muffler

Engine modifications - none really, waiting for the 302!

Air conditioning removed (who needs it on the Oregon coast?)

Sound-deadener removed

Future Specs...

302 or 351 windsor to replace cheesy 255

B&M shift kit installation coming soon...

Subframe connectors and traction bars

And most of all....

A diffferent rear-end! (Found a traction-lok 3.45 in a Capri I've got my eye on...)

I have many pictures of this car in its original grandma-car state. I hope to get some nice pics online as it is now...good-lookin' car!
