this shows the 396 which is now a 408 cu.in. The engine was built by my brothers friend who builds circle track racing engines. We test fired it on a start up stand... really sounds great!! Nothing to radical... forged crank and pistons,RV cam eldelbrock air gap, 650 carb and MSD pro billet distributor. Name: IMG_0657.jpg

The trans is a Sm465 and a Np205... about as strong as it gets. The old set up is in the background. My brother had the same set up as I did and didn't have anything going, so when he does I'll be going through the old one and handing it back...thank you!!! Name: IMG_0665.jpg

This shows the front springs going bye-bye! Lastly, the motor had to be bumped up. Added these motor mounts from DIY4x4 and welded a 3/8'' plate to raise up the BBC for clearance regarding the oil pan. Name: IMG_0666.jpg
