We're going to run the same motor for a bit with mixed fuel. I think the purple cam is .580 lift.

Needed a blinker lever and they are not cheap. So I thought lite weight and nice looking I can do that.

Wow... They did a nice job matching that paint....
I like it with the lighter side of the decals... Nice
By the way... In that rear quarter window. Is That sticker a TNN/Firestone series decal?

I also ran that series !!!!!!! Boy what fun times.. Great payout for that time and the competition was awesome.. I raced that series till it changed to espn and then bowed out.. After that I went ProGas Racing... Then I did the same thing y'all are doing. (sort of) Sold all the big hardware and put my street 440 back in it, Turned it back into a street car... And in 1995 some dude made me an offer i couldn't refuse.... The car now lives in Japan.. And it got Totaled their.
