First, a little bit about the drive line. The 350 was treated to an over bore and stroked crank so it is now at
383 c.i. The Comp Cams is a hydraulic roller, and the heads are TFS G2 items. The reciprocating internals were

First, a little bit about the drive line. The 350 was treated to an over bore and stroked crank so it is now at

injection system was put in place of a carburetor and high-rise intake.
The transmission is a Richmond 6-speed manual with 62% overdrive so in high gear and at 55 mph the RPM’s are at
1800. The 9” Ford rear was rebuilt with 31 spline axles, 4.10:1 gears and Posi-traction. Power disc brakes are on all
4 corners.
The interior was redone in vinyl and a color coordinated cloth to match the Marina Blue exterior. A Vintage Air
A/C & heat unit was also installed to keep the passengers comfortable year-round. Also, a custom aluminum gauge
console was fabricated by the owner to monitor the fuel flow and temperature.
The exterior was left untouched because when he purchased the car everything looked great.
