He said it was bone stock, and it was back when he was 16- he doesn't sound like he was 16 recently...

The engine and trans was stock. The car did have some G-60 tires on the back and traction bars so that probably helped the suspension. It did hook good. 16 was a long time ago.

After I blew up the 302 I put a 289 in the car. At that time it had headers. 650 holley, dual point distributor bigger camshaft and an edelbrock intake. Also had a 410 gear in the rear. If I remember correctly it ran 12.90 with those mods. Broke the 8 inch rear that day and put a 9 inch in it after that.
