But boy were they ever fast and could whip a 409 pretty easy.

Dvorak has the short block and I have all the parts except a driveshaft ready to go but a severe thunderstorm came through about 4 weeks ago and blew the roof and back wall off my garage and ruining a number of parts.
I do have a low compression 440 shortblock set aside for the day I can't go on with this madness any more.
I had the car on the street at one time, it got 4 to 6 mpg, idled at 30 mph and overheated a lot.
