Engine:

1972 Chevy 350 V-8

*39700010 casting *std. bore *std. dish pistons

-Main bearings, timing set, oil pump+pickup, gasket set

-Lunati Voo Doo Cam Kit (Adv.256/262 and .454/.468 lift)

-1985 305 H.O. casting '416 heads 58cc (not ported)

-Hooker Competition headers

-Edelbrock Performer RPM intake

-Edelbrock 600cfm 4 Barrel carb

-Edelbrock chrome kit, various other chrome items

-MSD cap, rotor and 8.5mm wire set

-160* thermostat and electric fan



This engine could really benefit from a bigger cam, some better heads and a bigger carb. This motor was built cheaply since the old 305 blew up unexpectedly and I needed this as my work truck.



Tranny:

-THM250 3-speed auto.
-Aftermarket tranny cooler



This tranny started to slip in 3rd after I put in the 350, these are known to be weak and can't handle much more than 250 ft. lbs. of torque. A better transmission would be the highly sought after THM350 tranny because they can handle up to 400 ft. lbs. of torque and can be built to handle more.



Rearend:

-Original 7.5" 10 bolt with 3.73 gears (installed by previous owner)



These 7.5's aren't very strong and can easily be upgraded to a 8.5" 10 bolt from a 1971-1981 Camaro. This is a direct bolt on since they both share the trailing arm mounts.



Body:

-Rusty



I will begin working on the body very soon.



Interior:

-Grant steering wheel and kit

-Sunpro black guage set



The interior needs work dearly.
