It was originally a 305 car, but had a few different smallblocks in it prior to getting a .040 over 402 BBC.

Only 80k original miles on the car, years ago they guy I got it from did a nice job on the paint and body (5 coats white, 5 coats clear he told me) but after he began swapping in the BBC the car ended up sitting for a couple years and rust began popping up here and there, so I have some little areas to address. Also the fender and door need a little white primer to blend in with the rest of the car.

More details:
408 Chevy, 10:1 pistons, Comp Cams Magnum .595 cam, Erson roller rockers, Hooker Super Comp headers, 3in exhaust, full MSD ignition, Edelbrock carb, manual steering conversion, AC/heat removed, TH350 with shift kit and small stall (has to go), 7.5 rear with 3.73 gears and auburn posi (has to go soon), BFG drag radials, etc. There are speakers in the car, and a radio but no wiring (you couldnt hear it anyhow) and I really need to clean up the nice white seats. And replace the RED carpet. :D
