V8 score!!!

I went to D&G to sell some stuff. I'm not gonna buy enything unless it is with money made at the swap meet. I was doing good, pulled in about $80 bucks. Then Dean pulls up with this ugly red Rayco bodied V8 car. The engine sounds sweet!. I checked out the car but I did not even look at teh price because: A- I am not buying anything today.
B-I have my V8 project at home, i have every top notch part to do my conversion.
C- I'm not a fan of the Rayco kit.
D- this one is ugly.
I talked to him about the car and bought his trailing arm stiffeners for $30. The engine sounds like a well built 350 and it is. Then I noticed the price on his sign, 4K OBO. Dean told me I was teh only person to ask about the car. why? perhaps it was fate. We went for a drive, shook hands and, I now own this car and OMG is it fast! We got back from the ride and suddenly everyone wanted to make an offer on the car....after I had allready made the deal. I got a special message for that skinny cocroach with the cain that bought my oil cooler. I cant wait to see him again.
I drove it back Wed to SD at 80 to 90 mph, taunting Vettes and rice burners. she runs about 200-220 deg on teh freeway, but 185 in traffic.

deos anyone know this conversion? it is not Renegade or Rod Simpson. Dean said that a guy at Cosworth Racing did this conversion.
