Good day everyone:

Finally starting to post. Signed on a couple of years ago.

Not much going on. Trying to find time/$ to get some race time in with the Road Runner.

Do you have pictures of your ride.?

 

[gearhead01]

Attached are a couple.

Where are you in Iowa? I bought the car from a racer in Waterloo.

Is that a 440 car, if is, is it hard to get the passenger side valvecover off because it hits the heater motor.
I'm near Mason City.....

That is awesome. Would love to here more about the build.

 

[gearhead01]

Valve cover - no problem. No heater/motor!

440 is basic, but a good build. 10.5:1 Eddy heads, 0.590 solid cam, M1 intake, 950 Holley.

CalTrac's,mono-leafs and adjustable shocks. Running through mufflers.

Yep, I believe I know the car. It was ran with a 360 for awhile, seams like its been a race car for 30 years or so, nice car.

 

[Oldiron440]

Where are you from?

 

[gearhead01]

Yes, it was a long time race car. The previous owner bought it in 1983. Just over 30,000 on the odometer.

I live in Illinois, just north of Rockford.

Cool, did he give you all the stock parts?

 

[DCAspen]

Nice looking ride

 

[gearhead01]

I did get many of the stock parts, that really should get out of my garage, and to someone that can use them.

Mostly miscellaneous stuff; wiper motor, hood hinges, booster/master cylinder, front bumper, etc.

Probably will post an ad soon.
