Nice pic, first I saw of the side!  First time I've seen a bumble bee stripe with the longitudinal stripe!  Looks cool!  :thumbsup:

Well what i have done to the motor is it was a stock 340, but it is bored .030, I re-honed the cyclinders and also relapped the valves, put in new bearings and new rings, new purple cam, headman headers, air gap performer intake from edel., thunder series carb 650 cfm from edel., all in one msd ignition with race coil, taylor made wires, new fuel pump, new water pump, all new hoses, mopar performance valve cover and air cleaner. I basically rebuilt the whole motor except for buing new pistons and new heads. took about a month getting parts and putting it together but it was a fun project. Thanks for asking about the car and I am glad you all like the color.

thanks
