Hello
Here are a few specs on #6638
Engine replaced with a stronger 1970 351C
I haven't dyno'd yet but I'm guessing around 340-350 horse and tons of torque
10" campy's on the rear 8" moved to front have original 7" in the garage
group 4 tail lights
interior all original except for the stereo
susp. all redone to factory specs
factory original brakes
the ONLY things I have done so far:
removed wipers (looks way better without them)
replaced original clutch slave tube with braided stainless line
replaced the original air cleaner assem with an open k&n filter
replaced holley carb (I hate holley carbs) with an edelbrock - much more street friendly and a bonus of 2-3 mpg instant improvement
new plugs and wires
upgraded to a modern stereo with USB port (threw all my cassettes away years ago)

None of this was neccessary - the car was pretty much turn key ready to go
Many kudo's to the gentleman in cali who did all the work when he owned this car - beautiful work
6638 has been everything I hoped it would be and then some.
