Finally done...

[KoolmanDude]

Thank you very much people, really appreciate it!!

The hood is fiberglass, it was originally pin on and we went ahead and make it work with hinges without springs....It was full off imperfections and to take them all out would be insane, so we decided to work as much out as possible and leave it black...and it's cool too!!

The color came courtesy of Nissan...well infinity...it's one of the gray shades of their SUV, I think it is the 2nd one in line.....don't remember the color code...I like the way it came out...

The wheels are 17*8 in the front with 4.5 BS wrapped in 245/45/17 and the rear are 17*9.5 with a 6 inch BS wrapped in 285/40/17. They are Centerline Mojave wheels....we had to relocate the springs in order to fit the tires....and they fill the wheelwells well.....

PH, REV and some other members are planning a trip to Carlisle in July.  Are you planning on attending??  I would love to see that car!!       They are leaving from your area . . . you should hook up with them and make the journey!!  I have a hotel room you could have!!

WOW!!! Now that is one sweet looking 'Cuda...

[Carlwalski]

WHOA!!! That car is just pure evil!!!!!  Looks awesome it that shade of grey......the paint looks like a great job. Whats inside this badboy? 

[KoolmanDude]

Well..to be totally honest with you...We really do not know exactly...

It is a 440 with a 30 over bore and TRW pistons, it has a higher than stock cam, a 284 or 288 if I am not mistaken. It has a 850 Holley 4 barrel and will now sport a "new" set of Indy SR Alum Heads.

It was purchased like that, I am only adding the heads. The car seems to be making awesome power, especially compared to my previous Chally....

All other changes have been purely cosmetic, new stereo, color and wheels....

The rear pumpkin has seen drastic changes, as one of the bearings gave way, leaving the axle to do what it pleases...I had to take it to the machine shop and let them put new housing ends and straighten one of the sides as it was a little bent....It got new bearings too....

This little mishap also let to the limited slip and pinion bearing being destroyed and I opted for a spool and 4.10 gears...

There are a lot of other changes the previous owner made to the car....

Later....

If you want go ahead and post the numbers on the airhorn of the carb and I'll look up the carb
size

Centerline still makes the baddest looking wheels
17 inches and not one bit ricey

Beautiful.. my '71 will eventually be Winchester Grey, a color that seems to be fairly rare, it's hard to find good images of them on the net.  It's nice to see what will be someday, congrats again.

360.......gotta any photos of these none ricey 17's?

No, I'm just saying that the wheels on this silver car are plenty big but not too ricey

They look like "hot wheels" to me only scaled up to real size

[Carlwalski]

I hear that, sets the car off nicely.
