Here is another one - been a long time since I built this, I think I was 19 or 20 at the time and I will be 28 in July.



Can't remember the exact spec, but I know .435/.455 @ 111 lda is close on the custom cam, new milled heads, honed, crank polished, new bearings, gaskets, new water pump, matched injectors, MAF conversion, headers, etc.
