Here are three not so great Instamatic pix I found in an old album. Things to note: You can't see it, but it had a Lakewood scattershield behind the big block. The clutch was a dual disc (stock) setup. You can see the M/T valve covers. And if you look closely it had a trailer hitch! That won't be going back on. It also had an aftermarket eight track tape player with headphones (you could hardly hear it through the speakers over the sound of the big block). That won't be going back on either...L-O-L. I had planned on switching it over to an L88 hood and an open plenum L88 intake manifold. I sold the car before that happened. But I think the new incarnation will have those induction parts.
Basically, this is the blueprint. And by the way, my heart still goes pitter-patter when I see these old photos (for more reasons than one).
