i've heard some old timers say they lost a few chevy ll at the track on the big end because of the stock front end geometry..

They factory rating is 505 horse and the Chevy II weighs around 400 pounds less than the Corvette, with the weight we are taking out and replacing with light er and stronger materials. It should be a fun little ride , But we were getting 780 @ the rear tires on the 71 Challenger it was a true hand full.

Still waiting on headers, new lowered motor mounts, and some odds and ends. Got the vintage air kit yesterday and will b installing it this weekend. Other than that its still sitting on the lift looking just as the last pics. Soon as the mounts and headers are done alot of it will be done and ready for paint. I'll keep updating as we get it all together. Just slow go right now
