Motor... 408, afr 205's, vindicator cam (mild), mamo ported FAST 90/90

I have not painted it yet and i am in no rush to really. Car stays out of the rain for the most part. This can all go back in at the drop of a top.

Just a word to the wise. Dont mod a 346. Ha Ha If i had to do it all over again that is.... If you want to do this and not have the car down.....I would suggest saving the given funds and do it all at once. Build a motor along side a stockish car. Make a check list of what is needed and how much it will cost. Pay for **** as ya can and keep checkin off the list.
