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.

Sorry to hear about the storm doing damage. Ouch on the gas milage....that remids me of my old 435 HP Vette at 4 1/2 MPG with a 4.88 gear. When you see Dan again please tell him I said hi.
