    will you get to take it on a 7,500 rpm power shift ride?
    Hot 302 with basically reworked 351 Cleveland heads.
    Designed to compete with the Z28, Trans am, T/A Challenger, AAR Barracuda, AMX, and the famous Trans Am Javelin!
    I guess pony cars were popular in 1970 ?

    No.... It needs some tune up work, that will come later. And tires, those are 40 years old... Would love to though! The Trans Am series cars are my favorites. Small high winding engines. My kinda cars.

    Spent some time prepping the Old's block for assembly today.
    Taped every hole. Brake clean and compressed air through all the oil galley's both ways.
    Hand wiped all the bearing lands and galley's.
    She is oiled and covered.

    That doesnt sound near messy enough. We power wash the blocks before assembly. Every nook and cranny. Makes a mess, but really disturbes all the dirt and debris.

    This block was boiled and painted already.
    I still pulled some crap out of it.
    If It was raw we would have been down to the wrecker shop using the steam jenny.

    I had a 69 Impala. 300 HP 350 with TH350
    pure stock except for rebuilt trans with shift kit. The second gear bark was cool.
    I had the lid on the air cleaner turned upside down and the quadrajet sounded pretty sweet when you stood on it.
    The car even had fender skirts on it

    I remember the air breather trick. The car actually picked up a bit by doing that.
