Taking the new car to the track for the first time tomorrow.
It's been 9 years since I made my last pass at milan. Been 9 years since I had a car that I was actually feeling excited about. This ones a turd, and it's my turd, and I love it. It's a 85 t top with some stock heads of some type (couldn't locate the casting numbers on the internet to save my life, and they're not even a e7 head), supposed .030 302, with a b cam (I'm certain about that sound), 5 speed car with a rpm air gap on it (thank you again fastford) with a 4776 Holley 600, a 5 speed, and 4.10 gears, and brand new tomorrow et streets 26x10. It has some lower control arms on it, some purple lowering springs of some sort, and a relocated battery. Small belt (not the smallest but still) with just the alternator, power steering and the water pump and a under drive crank pulley for all that it's worth. Im hoping it at least runs around 103-105 mph, and makes it back on the trailer under its own power. If not, it might be for sale CHEAP. The valve springs are holding me back the most as far as I'm concerned, but I figure, why not run it. It's all in fun right? I'll get some afr 165's eventually (more like this next winter), and have the springs set up for my cam then. But for now, I'm excited, and anxious to see what it'll do for me now, and If the valves float as I'm powershifting it, who cares! I'm just really glad to be back behind the wheel of a car I actually have feelings for. Now if I could only post a picture.....
