Hello gang. I have a '70 Torino Twister Special kinda clone. I say kinda because I deviated from the original trim specs for those of you who know what a Twister is. It has a 460 with a C6. Rear is the factory 9" with 3.91 gears and factory suspension for now.

Do you still have the original 429 SJ or SCJ motor?

Weren't there only 90 of those built? While you have the 460 in there you might as well top it off with a set of these.

I'm not sure how I feel about modifying a care that rare and nice. But its yours and it should be on the road either way so enjoy. Welcome.

Sorry, i didn't get notification of any responses. I'm not worried about modifying it because it started life as a 351c 2v fmx a/c 3.0 open diff GT. I just always liked the low production Twister that was sold in my area only (even though I'm not a fan of orange)

The Boss heads are great but I'd really like a set of his p heads. And they WILL clear my shock towers.
