It has a short blockfrom Shafiroff 377ci ...

World Motown ironblock

Racemaster crank

Lunati pro-mod rods

JE low compression pistons (8.5-1)

Pro-form 750 carb

TKO-600 transmission

Fab9 rear

35 spline strange axels

strange center lenco locker

QA1 shocks adjustable

Global west control arms

hydraboost

roll cage

corbeau seats

detroit speed dash

A few other items I cant remember right now...

Oh it use to have a vortech vs1 supercharger but I removed it
because the whine was very annoying and it actually hurt my ears when driving... At the time I didnt know they had the quiet version... When I called to see how much it was to send mine back and trade it in they wanted about 2k for the swap so I decided to pull it and sell it.. So its NA right now... I would like to get fuel injection in the future...

Congrats on really having fun with your car. http://www.ncracing.org/ is a fun bunch also. I have never run Thunderhill in that direction,always the other way.

Cool video! Car looks great. I think that I met you at the scca meet in Atwater back in '05, but I could be wrong. I was there with a green '68.

Hello Andrew

I was actually with the instructor and we were not timing any runs... We would slow down for some instruction and we were only allowed to pass on the straights... Timing would not be very acurate and Im still trying to learn the line there... However it was a real blast... The next time I go I can run without the instructor and will be able to time it... Also in group 2 I can only pass on the straights... I believe group 3 you can pass in more places and group 4 you can pass anywhere... Then you can go for a competition license...:D

Ahhh, it is you! The car doing great. It is on the cover of Super Chevy for this month(June). I still use it as my daily driver and somehow it stays together.
I haven't been to the track at all, been busy building a 66 nova for myself and a couple of customers cars. I hope to get it back to the track sometime soon!
I had heard from Steve that you pulled the supercharger off. How do you like it? Better? Car sounds good on the video! I will pm you my phone number, Call me someday all we'll catch up...

Was your car over at Performance dyno tuning for a long time a few years back?? I think at the time Steve said it had a 400sbc/TH700r4??? Nice car!

Yes a while back it had a 400sbc then put on the supercharger... After I cracked a piston ring I got the Shafiroff short block... Had 3 different 700r4 trannies... The 3rd one was the Mega-raptor we could never get them to to run correctly... When the third one broke I threw it out the window and bought the tko600... No problems since.. It doesnt have the supercharger anymore so its mild now... We dynoed it without it and it put down about 330 rwhp... I think with it dynoed 520 rwhp with the supercharger...
