Looking good. I like the choice of wheels, they fit the car very well. Alot of aftermarket wheels are just thrown on cars, and they make the car look worse instead of better, but your's enhance the appearance. What does it have in it, a 305 or a 350?

Best of luck in the show.

350 LT1 Chevy Smallblock V8.

I had to get the valve covers ordered special because the LT1 on Camro/Transam, and B-Body Caprice/Impalas have alternators so close to the covers that they have to be indented for the alternator.

I don't know what the previous owner did to the car mannnnny years ago (because I haven't really done any HP mods yet), but I managed to run 13.5 at 104MPh on a 1/4 mile track yesterday.

Injoy the Show.

back in the Late 90's I used to show my 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS-6 with various speed mods including a 875 GMC blower. Having people marvel at the work of your hands is a nice thing however, having to to talk to people is not.

later in life the car became a symbol of my time in high school so it had to go.

You know, I never did show off the valvetrain work I did to it.

Nice Caprice, the wheels look out of place on it to me though, a set of Torq-Thrust II's would look sweet on that
