To christian this forum..I think we need a brag thread...stock, mild, wild..post em up! Here's my baby It's a relatively basic engine... We got it for $350...NOTE $350 :P...from the mechanics next door out of an ex-cop VK. It's running etc and sounds beautiful (with no exhaust)! It's in a HJ one tonner which should be some fun! Quicks specs: 304 (I guess) 5L block Holley 750 (Yes i know, overkill...but it came with it) 40,000thou overbore Turbo350 trans "Good" distributer leads (not sure that counts for anything though) That's all I can think of for now...It's got a chrome air filter sittin on it now, and chrome rocker covers are going on soonish. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
