What did you end up paying for it? Came out to 570. Don't ask me how, I was prepared to spend like 1200 so when I got the call I was caught completely off guard.

Definitely gotta get used to the power it puts down. Chirped the tires just letting the clutch out the first time I took it out. But it's smooth. I'm actually shocked how smooth the motor is. Exhaust is mellow until like 2 grand, then it opens up. I'm gonna try and get a better video once I change the oil and clean it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebigmj Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That exhaust work looks fantastic and sounds even better. What upper control arms are you running? They don’t look stock in the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on going with a 245 tire but I'm still unsure if that'll be enough... although I'd rather go through tires then an axle shaft so maybe I don't want it to fully hook.

70barracuda Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 And she's home! Made it all the way around the block lol. Messed around with the holley dash a bit and set up what I want on it. Still gonna do a analog tach, oil pressure, temp, and bolts as it will be easier to see at speed. Dash is great but kinda small. Did an oil change on it today. I'll run this stuff for about 500 miles then do another. Got a small coolant leak at the overflow nipple and I wanna tuck some wires and mount the catch can. Then road time!

I don't wanna say it's never gonna be painted, but definitely not now. I love the patina look too much. 9 hours ago, JMO413 said: How go you like the Holley controller so far?

There are some pretty advanced features in it so definitely gonna have to read up on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
