Eric Jackson is building a very high winding 302. I don't believe it is for a customer.

He does top notch work. Perhaps you can talk him out of it for the right price:

I would really like to see more pics. What suspension mods, etc.?

It has a Dana 60 that was put back in the 70's with mopar superstock springs and no traction bars. The car was minitubbed back in the day. On the front it just has some 90 10 shocks. I'm gonna take it to the track next week again and get some video. A high winding 302 would be nice. I do have one but needs to be rebuilt.

Looked through my old pictures and there it was! Chantilly Lace at Columbus in October '69 at their Fall National Open event. And old Instamatic less than good picture but a picture nevertheless. I can't post but would be glad to send you the picture, I'll be at MCACN and you could buy me a coffee.

Sounds good. I'm gonna need to repaint it and would like to go back to the paint like it was in the late 60's.

&quot;My plans are to put a period correct small block with a nash 5 speed in the car and make it a drag/ cruise night car. I want to paint the car back to its original red with the white stripes. I would like to bring it out to the supercar reunion next year and beat up on some of the fast Yenko’s with low 11 passes.&quot;

Puttin it to that oranage ZL1 clone might be a problem for you, but good luck I like that plan though.

Thanks for the nice offer but have to get it scanned first which I may be able to do tomorrow and get my friend to post it as well. Failing that I'll contact you to post. In any event, again, thanks for the kind gesture.

Wowww.... My old car !! Congrats on getting it running !!! I would love to see some wheels up pics !!! I think we may have spoken once actually if I remember.

I was just in my attic a few days ago and I found the old racing jacket Joe gave me that he used back in the day. Did you get the timeslips and pics of Joe with the car that I included when I sold the car? I know I have somewhere the taped interview with him when I sat down one night right before buying the car. I will try and find it, but that I cannot promise. He had some awesome old racing stories.

If you'd like to PM me and send your address, I still have a bunch of original time slips from the car , I'll send them to you with the jacket !! They really belong with the car at this point.

By the way !! He did break into the 10's with the car apparently at some point if I remember the time slips correctly. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]
