The motor is from a preacher at my work. The motor in his 71 camaro ran 12.40's consistant. Best run was a 12.20 all motor. So If I run high 11's I will be sooooo thrilled !

The only thing is im running a drag radial tire not full slick. I'm going to install a pinion snubber to help preload the rear. As long as there isnt any wheel hop , im happy.

My entire car will be one of a kind, hence my choice of engine bay color of Grabber Green. I want to stand out from the crowd with this build ! Hate it or Love it, so far i love every aspect of the car.

Thought about it, i would love to do it all grabber green (matt). Im afraid id catch the attention of the LAW too easy. Black will blend in more, also at night. But my 400hp v8 might get more attention than green paint...

Got to test drive the 81 camaro that has my engine. Wow, never driven a 12 sec car ! I picked up 2 race seats for $100. Got free engine parts; chrome valve covers, demon 750 carb, msd ignition and distributor. Pics coming soon. Maybe a video of the engine if i can upload. Pulling motor on friday !
