Default Finally some pics...

Car is a gen 1 383 with t56 trans. Used to be a weak 3.4/auto when i bought it last winter. Car is a hardtop, stripper. No options except for fog lights, no heat, no air. I was going to get some better pics of the motor but the camera died. But its a 383, 11:1 compression, trick flow heads, mighty demon carb, mallory unilite distributor, long tubes, true duals, etc etc. Car has tubular k member, '02 camaro front brakes, 99 TA rear with 3.73's, eibach prokit. Im still working some of the bugs out and wideband tuning the carb, but its been a blast to drive so far. Let me know what you think.

Did you have any trouble fitting the carb under the stock hood? Very nice sleeper

Should have between 450-500hp at the crank, nothing crazy. Actually fitting the carb under the cowl was easy. I did have to clearance to give myself room to work on the distributor. Im not quite sure what the weight of the car is. I am curious myself. Ill get some more pics when i get the air cleaner set up on and maybe a short vid. Thanks for all the compliments.
