Remember , it's now powered by a warmed up 360 LA, a 727 trans and an 8 3/4 sure grip. Not much of the original car is left !!

I bought it out of Columbus , Ohio so I'm not sure of it's history. It did have the OE Magnum 500's with the trim rings when I got it , so who knows ? Maybe !

Actually it's a 360 LA. Mostly E-Bay and Summit parts trying to budget reasonably. My days of $1000.00 a tenth super stock racing are long ago behind me. The highlights include a 0.040" over bore , eagle rods , 295* Comp Cams solid , and bolt on dress up you can see in the photos. The rear axle...

Welcome again , and thanks for the compliments. I guess not too bad for a 69 year old retired Auto Technician !! At least that's my wife's thoughts !

Welcome to the site and I hope your project continues to go well. Us Aspen guys need to stick together as you're absolutely right about starting somewhere. Here's my current project and reading your details it appears we have very similar ideas !!

Thank goodness !! Finally sealed up. Congratulations!!!

Unfortunately it's a "Ben there done that" story ; In my own driveway. LOL !

Looks like it could also be a leak from the lower hose connection at the water pump. Get it warm and under pressure an look carefully for the source. Just keep in mind that coolant usually runs down hill , so look up.

Not too concerned with ride or handling right now as the hope is to duplicate "old school " street car stuff like the 70's. Guess that dates me a bit, but at my age both may still become an issue ! LOL!! The Right hanger is in the pictures as well as the clearance notch in the gusset. As I said...

Always love sharing pictures with other members. Haven't measured the fender heights , but as soon as it's off the jack stands I'll be happy to if you need.

The Mancini front hangers combined with "G Body" springs fit my Aspen perfectly with no mods. I have replaced the 8 1/4 " rear axle with an 8 3/4" and eliminated the rubber iso suspension but I don't believe the distances were effected. This advice came from "Professor Fate " from here and was...

Tail pipes are the next plan. Needed to get these in place to measure the lengths and bends first. Thanks !!

Alright folks. I hate to pose a problem and not follow up with a solution, so here goes ! Hedman Headers sells " Header X-Tensions that solve the interference issue with an S bend. The ones I needed , (part # 18701), are 23" long and fit perfectly. They are also available in varying lengths so...

I appreciate the input , thanks ! Was just concerned about possibly damaging the "glass pack" insert. Shouldn't take much to create the clearance needed. Thanks again !!

I purchased a pair of header mufflers and found that the left one doesn't fit correctly on the header flange due to a very small interference with the floor reinforcement on my Aspen RT. Considering bending the inlet pipe or possibly creating a small dent in the muffler case to solve the issue...
