I think I stole it for the price. Lets just say it was under 11K..
You cant get the paint done for that let alone all the bodywork.
Just wait till I get the GT40 and supercharger in it..
Stay tuned

Its just a 302 Tranny is beefy and the 9inch out back with 373's and strange axles should do the trick just fine

Started ehngine tear down and have been doing some painting hope to pull motor out this weekend and do some more painting. Hopefully if all goes well I will be dropping this beauty in the following weekend.
Billet bulleys and alternator along with power steering pump should follow soon..The biggest PITA is going to be rewiring the EFI ti SFI and MAF.
Going to be a fun winter in the ole garage

Thats a sweet looking motor. The intake is interesting, never seen one like it before. It looks kind of like it should have dual TB's though(that would be sweet). What kind of front suspension do you have again? I saw those A-arms and thought, that aint right.

AND the oil pickup tube that goes with that rear sump pan.
