Here we go.........fall of 1974. .030 balanced 360 with a great Thermoquad carb, professionally rebuilt and wow would it kick in hard with those large secondaries. Purpleshaft cam, Edelbrock Torker, 4:10 axle ratio, stall speed, Headers shift kit........ On Friday and Saturday in Paducah Ky this car raced <every weekend> I beat a alot of cars that were faster cause my car would launch. I worked in the local shop of a man who built 130 mph boats powered by Chevrolet. He hated it cause I loved Mopars and last thing he would say to me on Friday was "ok boy pull your piece of nuts in here" and he would set the time and make sure everything was right for a Friday nite!! We pulled the engine out at 53,000 mikles and I swear most of them were 1/4 mile at a time. Car ran 8:30s 1/8th miles. Alas I later married his daughter. I had this scoop molded into the hood. Body work on this was excellent. I was 17 years old at the time.....Check out the cordoroy leisure suit with bell bottoms.........he he he
