THIS CAR IS VERY FAST, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED. WHILE ENGINE IS NEARLY PUT BACK JUST HOW IT ROLLED OFF LINE AND IS NUMBERS MATCHING AND DATE CODED, I DID INSTALL 450HP LS6 CAMSHAFT IN THE ENGINE AND WE DID COMPETITION VALVE JOB AND TORQUE PLATE HONE ON BLOCK AND OTHER BLUEPRINTING BEFORE INSTALLING IN CAR TO WAKE THE MOTOR UP. RUNS COOL, GREAT OIL PRESSURE, SOUNDS AWESOME, SHIFTS PERFECT, AND HANDLES GREAT. THE PERSON I HAD GO THROUGH THE MUNCIE HAS BEEN BUILDING MUNICES FOR AROUND 40 YEARS AND IS ONE OF THE BEST IN COUNTRY. SAME GOES FOR THE ENGINE REBUILDING! ALSO, IGNITION TIMING ON ENGINE HAS BEEN SET TO OPTIMAL SETTING FOR PERFORMANCE AND EASY STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF OF THE ENGINE. THE 1966 HOLLEY 4-BARREL CARBURETOR WAS TAKEN DOWN TO BARE MAIN BODY DURING SAME TIME AS ENGINE AS TRANS WERE REBUILT AND CARBURETOR WAS FULLY REBUILT BY AN OLD HOLLEY EXPERT. IT WAS REASSEMBLED WITH #68 JET, 8.5 POWER VALVE, NEW SEALS AND GASKETS AND WAS RECOLORED IN SPECIAL HOLLEY CHEMICAL PROCESS.
