the pain

Getting the headers to fit was not fun. I highly recommend not using the hooker swap headers. I used the ford 460 swap mounts. And the Stock Cast Iron D0VE-C Intake. With a drop base air cleaner. The Factory K-member needs to be shimmed up a smidgen. But it still drives well. Right now im in the process of fine tuning the carb. I have the holley 750 performer carb, with vac secondaries. Thanks for the compliments. I didnt really want a full track car or a show car. My goal was to have a car that could pull like a 5.0 with a 5 speed but be an automatic and not have any major components break. I think my combo should be pretty solid. I dont care If I break the tires though :)
