Considering that there is no belt, no fuel lines, no linkage, it was just installed yesterday, etc... I doubt that he has any numbers yet.

Thanks all, today he leveled out the motor and installed an 1" adapter that was missing in the first pic. The bird catcher is now about 2" higher than the roof....lol I'll get more pics tomorrow. It looks mean from the back, 3' of tire and the scoop above the roof ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

That looks badass! I don't know why but a blower through the hood looks better on a coupe than anything else... something about the lines of the car I guess.

Your buddy has a sweet looking ride Josh. Is he building it to atcually be as fast as it should be, or is he just building a bad ass street cruiser setup? Basically, is there 3' of slicks out back, or 3' of street tires? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Oh yeah, and the color is great!

Looks like time for Charles (CM4HAWKS) to change his color scheme on his 67 coupe...hahaha.
Very nice car, Tinner.
I had a 428CJ in an old ford of mine and it ran hard.

Must have put alot of thought into this to have prepped and installed a portion of the hood right up to the front of the motor.
Suttle, but looks really good.

Don't even play, I got a Hyundai that would smoke your Geo and that 68!
That looks awesome, lets get some more pics and a video of it! I had a 68 coupe years ago, 302 with a huge cam, home ported stock heads, a tunnel ram and stock converter...... off the line it was a slug but you wind it up and it was gone. I had more freeway runs with that car than I can remember, that was before you got 2 life sentences in prison for racing though.

This is the guy that was w/ me when I dropped off my car. It is more of a street car so yea 3' of street tire......lol His next project is a built bottom end , big cam and heads. So You and Shaun will need to clear a spot for his car next winter. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
