At the top of the impressive mill, pair of 750cfm Quick Fuel Technology 4-barrels mixes air from a polished intake with a steady stream of dinosaurs that's supplied by stainless lines and braided AN hoses. At the base of those carburetors, polished Dyers 6-71 supercharger rides between polished breathers and polished, CHEVROLET" branded valve covers. At the back of that blower, n aftermarket distributor shoots spark through proven MSD plug wires, hich snake around 10 to 1 pistons, Comp hydraulic roller cam and Summit Motorsports heads. Cooling is provided by a small aluminum radiator, hich is strung in front of large SPAL puller fans.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Behind that fire-breathing engine, Muncie-style 4-speed, uilt to withstand 800 horsepower, wists torque through a vented 9-inch Currie to big, .32 gears.

At the front of that chassis, odern tubular control arms utilize beefy coil-overs and quick rack-and-pinion steering to mix a pleasant ride with vintage feel. At the back of the chassis, proven 4-link set-up utilizes two more coil-overs to provide drag strip-worthy launches. Serious stops counter the car's serious speed via 4-wheel disc brakes. Exhaust duties are handled by wrapped and squared side-pipes. And keeping all this muscle rolling down the road is a slick set of Weld Racing Draglites, hich spin 26x6.00R15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Rs in front of 31x18.00R15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Rs.
