Vehicle Details

Project car!

This car has had a lot of work done to it but it needs more. It was running and driving Last month but it had A blown head gasket. I removed the heads and brought them to a machine shop where they were Cleaned,Resurfaced, Magparticle NDI'd, And the valve guides done. The heads were reinstalled with ARP bolts and new head gaskets And torque to spec. The engine is not running because it needs the final touches. (Initial startup in timing). Unfortunately, i've run out of time end money.

The following is a list of new parts that were installed:

Intake gasket

Lifters.

Oil pump

Timing set

Oil pan gasket

AC compressor and Other components ( R134A conversation)

Starter

Optimum battery.

HEI distributor.

Painless wiring kit.

Interior sound Deadening, insulation and carpet. (OEM color)

Fuel tank.

Muffler

This car is not perfect and has rust but it's still solid.

The following is a list of items that do not work currently:

Power window Only works on driver's side.

Flip up headlights need actuators( Originally vacuum powered. Vacuum powered components, removed.)

The current carburetor installed is an edelbrock a v s 2. The engine was running on this carburetor prior to the heads being removed but Due to the spacer height, the hood does not set flush with oem air cleaner. Rochester style quadrojet required.

This is a bring a trucking trailer kinda scenario.
