I love to drive along in 1st gear and at about 3krpm nail it.  Of course the other three gears are just as much fun, but things happen a lot faster in those gears.  I've added a ford 8.8 to the rear with 4.10s and limited slip.  The american 200s wheels are true vintage.  I remember watchin 2-lane blacktop a long time ago and really liking it.  I've been playing with this car for the last 8 years and I finally put plates and insurance on it this year.  I pulled the 401 engine from a j20 in ohio and it sat in the back of my parents garage for 6 years before I lunched the 360 that I had built for it in '02.  The 401 received forged 11.5:1 forged sealed power slugs, clevite 77s, an sfi approved balancer thats real shiny, and a full balance.  The heads have chevy 11/32nd valves in the stock size of 2.08 and 1.65, with mild port work.  A torker intake with a 750 double pumper top it off.

I grin everytime I drive it.
