Cool, I bet it stalls higher than that. I love the efficient closed chambers with the central spark plugs, those are early heads correct? Get that TH400 armed for bear and your car will move. Your factory control arms are probably bending like rubber bands under all that torque, good luck!

LOL....To be expected without mods, the whole car is bending like a rubber band. The front wheel left wheel is off the ground. When hooking up at the track I would be worried about body flex and cracking the windshield.

Haha for sure lots of rubber bands. The front wheel lifting is nothing short of a miracle. The car has no bracing what do ever, no anti sway bars, nothing. There's a plate welded behind the back seat to keep the rear window from popping out and that's it.

The motor mounts are also kinda loose.

Luckily these cars can take quite a bit of flex. So it will work for now. But it's future is something along the lines of what UMI green machine looks like.

I love the GN wheels too, it's a shame the center's fell out. Just gotta glue them back in. I also have some Buick 350-4 Hi-Comp stickers to put on the valve covers and air cleaner lol.
