Out back you will find the suspension is now re-arched leaf spring over a Mopar 8.75 inch. We have a rebuilt 742 housing containing 4.30 Richmond gears and a Sure-grip. New drum brakes and heavy Dodge truck shocks make it sturdy and safe. 31 inch slicks roll on some old school Aluminum slotted wheels, all new. A crazy set of ladder bars hold everything in place during that harsh launch.
The power comes from a Pake's built 468 with a Weiand blower and a Holley carb perched on top. Ported heads, mild cam and fenderwell headers add to the oomph. It's fired by a Pertronix ignition system and cooled by a Griffin aluminum radiator.
The body and interior must be 30-40 years old. You couldn't duplicate them if you tried. Not perfect, but perfect for a gasser. You'll find a full compliment of gauges and all the safety equiptment you would need.
We will have the old girl on the track soon. We will keep you posted.
This radical old gasser is resurrected to look like she should. Acts accordingly. You really need to see her to appreciate the quality of the build and the talent and creativity that went into it. We did the hard stuff and spent the big bucks. All you need to do is make it yours, keep the fuel cell full and turn the key.
