Dr. Dan asked about the car in my signature the other day.
Doc, it's not a 9-10 sec. car, at least not right now, best has been 11.82 sec. 116-MPH @ 1,300ft. elevation. The car and I go back quite a while. I originally bought the car in 1986 as a roller, no motor or trans. It was originally a 67' black on black SS-350 car.
As it sits now it makes about 470 HP with mostly no-frills factory GM parts. It's a standard bore 400ci SBC with cast 400 crank, 350 rods, flat top pistons and Bowtie iron heads. I try to keep the car looking as original as possible on the outside and have no plans to cut the car up any further, although I do plan to run it into the 10's soon. I like clean factory looking cars that can run hard. The interior is all original equipment except for the cage, belts and rear seat removed.
Here’s some photos. I'll try to put in chronological order.
