It was fun driving it, thats for sure...I didn't want to drive it too much because it needs alignment yet...hopefully saturday morning a local place will do it for me. That 383 is a torque monster....I have to run "Blueprint" break in oil for 500 miles and keep RPMs under 4000....after that I change oil, filter, and its ready to go. We did lots of checking for leaks, bolts that needed retightening etc...every mechanical part darn near is new on the car, engine, transmission, PS disc brakes, rear leafs, shock bar, gas tank, sender lines, shocks, all fron end components, steering box, PS pump, pulleys, belts, water pump, headers, carb, fuel regulator, alt, brackets, mufflers and pipe, traction bars, rims, tires, tach, gauges, steering wheel, air cleaner, master cylinder, throttle linkage, dist, wiring, coil, fuel pump...and I'm sure there is other things I forgot about. Cost more to build this car than what I figured!
