Performance:
I've always been a Ford guy but when this car, with 62K original miles was offered for$125, I had to drive it home. The 350 was rated at 145HP when new.(There goes my insurance rates!)Edelbrock cam, manifold & carb with comp lifters,new timing gears and electronic ignition make it respectable. Factory duals/flowmasters,disc brakes & 2" drop spindles round out the undercarriage. Sprint nose, gutted Fed bumpers with new brackets and a narrowed & shortened rear bumper complete the "earlier" look. Driven daily on 87 octane. Ralleye wheels w/BFG *** finish it up.
