Site looked interesting so I thought I'd give it a try. A lot of nice rides to admire here. I bought my 78 Calais when I came across the car while looking for a winter beater. I bought my Cutlass instead. It still has its original paint which is quite rare for a car that's been in MN it's whole life. I took out the stock 305 and replaced it with a 355 that used to be in my 71 Malibu. I also replaced the TH250 with a TH350 at the same time.
The fun facts:
Rebuilt and balanced 355 c.i. SBC
• Keith Black Hypereutectic pistons
• Comp Cams XE274H cam
.487/.490lift and 230/236 duration @ .050
• Extensively ported 993 casting heads
• Ported Performer RPM Airgap Intake
• Holley 670 Street Avenger Carb
• K&N Extreme Filter Top air cleaner
Ceramic coated Dynomax 1-5/8 headers
Custom 2.5" exhaust with X crossover
• Flowmaster 40 series Deltaflow mufflers
Rebuilt TH350 transmission w/shift kit
• TCI 2400 RPM stall converter
• B&M Pro Ratchet shifter
• G-Force crossmember
New shocks and springs front and rear
• Hotchkis springs
• KYB shocks
