x2! Looks good. The SJ's are a little harder to find too. I've always liked that 70's pea green. So....does it run well enough to justify those back tires????

Its got one 68 350 but picked up a 67 400 2bbl($250) 9786133 casting with 143 heads today and am putting the cam & lifters from the 350 in it , i did not like the gear drive so i bought a comp cams timing set instead, and shelving the offy
intake and putting on a edelbrock 2720 torker instead

the 67 400 im now putting in it should be stout enough to warrant the tires at the track,the 350p ran well enough though
engine specs stoke bore 67 400 pontiac with stock 143 casting heads, howards .450/450 hyd cam,edelbrock torker intake
holley 650, should be in the high 12 low 13 sec range best et on the 350 was a 13.899
