    I put a set of Venolia pistons in it. Machined .098" the domes. ( pump gas ). Cam is a retro hyd roller from Comp Cams.
    Heads are stock with stainless valves and comp cam springs. Heads were machined for roller rockers. Carb is a Holley Street Avenger 670. Engine made 328 hp on dyno. Trans is a well built C4 8" rear with a locker and 3.25 gears. boss 302.jpeg

    Awesome car. 'Think those front springs will settle any?

    I have 1700 miles on it since I finished it and the front has settled an inch. Everything was new in the suspension and steering. I was a little concerned about the height of the front when I
    first put it together, but it is settling.

    Thanks, Maybe I will see you next year at the Pa. rally
