Cranking up an old T/A
« on: September 01, 2019 - 07:30:25 PM »
72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

What a dream to find something like that in a storage garage. 

That's what i'm always looking for.  (AAR mostly)  but a T/A is a great second choice! 

I've found old cars and got them to run just great with minimal effort.  But I have yet to really find a mopar that
doesn't need a ton of work to get on the road. 

Ole Nick is a lucky dude, or he paid a very shiny quarter.

Would think he paid at least $20,000
