    I am building a Pro Stock 72 Mav for the street. It is a low mile car, in very nice shape, very straight, with little rust. The shock towers have been cut and moved out 2 inches per side so a bored and stroked 427 SOHC will fit in it. I am putting a 351 Clevor in it while my buddy and I put together a 390 heavy duty truck block with a Scat stroker kit to make 440 cubes and around 500 horse, then I will start rounding up the rest of the Cammer parts I need. I have a top loader 4 speed, Lincoln Versailles disk break 9 inch with a Strange N carrier, 35 spline Moser axles,and a 35 spline detroit locker that did one race in a Nextel cup car. This is my first build and I am having a blast! My buddy owns the Mr Rollbar car that Darrel Drokes raced back in the day. A SOHC powered monster! plus a 70 MAV that will shotly get a 427 Tunnel port poked out to 488!
