I purchased this car stock and all the modifications made have been done by me except narrowing the rear housing and engine block machining.
 This car is all steel except the 4 3/4" cowl hood,the front end is removable as one piece.
 The engine is a Donovan aluminum block with AFR 227 competition CNC cylinder heads,it has a Lunati solid roller .645/.670~260/270@.050,it has 4340 h-beams and crankshaft,J-E pistons(13-1),it is topped off with a super vic with a Holley 950 hp alcohol carb.
 The trans is a TCI built powerglide with brake,1.80 straight cut planateries,vasco input shaft with a TCI ultimate street fighter converter set up for use with nitrous.
 The rearend is a narrowed 9" with Moser spool, 33 spline axles,aluminum center section,aluminum pinion support and aluminum pinion adapter.The rear is held in place with Competition Engineering ladder link bars and Strange single adjustable coil overs
 Other items are,Aeromotive A-2000 fuel pump w/filter connected to an owner fabricated aluminum fuel tank,Hoosier 29x14.5 quick time pro's,all MSD ignition.
 This car is mostly a street vehicle but I do take it to the track a couple times each year,we are hoping with the new trans upgrades to spray the car deep into the 9's this year.
