He has the original 302 on the shelf, (worn out), and a built SBC in it now. All original parts on shelf, lots of upgraded stuff on the car.

The owner is a young Latino guy, (at least young compared to me) , I ask if he worries about it getting stolen and he tells me that he lives down in the 'hood where no one has a clue what it is. Everyone just thinks it's an old POS car. Lol...





Wow, super cool. Looks like the original dual quad crossram top for the 302 intake was changed to a single quad which is probably not a bad idea.
