New to the site, always good to trade secrets with so many. I've had this car from about 1984, bought it from a guy that was into 61 bubble tops. He had it about a month and I found it in the paper, $700.00 for a SS 454 car. The only reason I got the car was because it had a 454, 400 trans., and a posi. I thought for the $ I could always use the parts for such a great price. I'm the 3rd. owner it was bought here in Bakersfield ca. by a female teacher and was driven pretty hard but was mostly all there. After about 3 yrs. it kind of grew on me and well this is it after 3 other refurbishments car had zero rust. Down thru the yrs. it has had several power combos and finally I went with the Dart big M block, billet caps, Callies 1/4 stroker, Comp. hyd. roller, GM big oval ports cyl. heads taken to the max, put a F-2 pro charger and all that goes with it. Well anyways it puts out a bit over 1300 hp and the torque is around 1450, all before 6500, a built 4l80, detroit locker with 389 gears and 35 spline axles. The car can be driven anywhere and is a pussycat in town. I built a 72 Chevelle with my nephew 454, 100 over, about a 13 to 1 motor, Dart heads, big Comp. solid roller, Lemon headers with 4in. exh. don't remember the duration but the lift is 730-750, 1250 dom., the car runs low to mid 10's, I used to call the freight train. We have played with them and he jumps me for about 2 seconds then I'm able to start pulling him in, he's running a 5250 stall and I got a 2500. I've had alot of fun with the car and plan to keep it awhile.

Welcome to the site. I also have a Dart Big M block in my car, but its built totally for the street and is only about 600 HP. I was talked into the more expensive parts by my engine builder. Its still powerful enough to embaress a lot of ricers. JB

Seems like every summer I wind up in the hospital or sumpin'. This summer I had just started getting over that quad bypass surgery and then I wound up twice during the summer for kidney stones. The first time they did not get 'em all. Now my back has went completely out on me and I have pain running all the way down my leg from the Scatic nerve. I guessed at the spelling on that one. I wanted to paint my 78 Elky myself so I could have a better chance of selling it and never did get THAT done. This IS the Ann Landers' crying column, right? JB
