I've wanted to see that car since I saw it in Hot Rod when I was a kid. What a treat to see it in person.

Sorry Fred, the motor is built like da Grump raced the car most, with a "mountain motor" iron block. He was never satisfied with the performance of the aluminum blocks, and, found the weight advantage to be negligible. The heads are the last set of 074 heads that he used on this car. Thanks to Jude for finding them, and, selling them to me.

Well, I now have a new desktop background. Those Pro Stock '70 Camaros look so tough, this one being the most famous one of all. Would love to see it in person. The Grump was so full of tricks, I would love to hear his confessions on this car.
