Description for Pontiac Le Mans 1968
Fully restored 1968 Pontiac LeMans frame off resto-mod. While everyone else was cloning these into GTO's this car was restored as a LeMans. The motor was custom built by Phil Burkart, NHRA Top Fuel Funny Car racer; it's a 400 stroked to 468ci, 500+ hp. The transmission is an Art Carr Racing transmission (look them up if you're not familiar). Moser rear, Hotchkis suspension (drives like a new car), Doug Thorley headers, Pypes X-Change exhaust with electric dumps, and on and on. No expense spared, have over $90,000 invested in this car. Both chrome bumpers were re-dipped, all other chrome was replaced. Interior vinyl and convertible top are all new. But the crown jewel is the paint - it gets looks and rave comments at every show. At the last show, a lifelong car guy and former Chrysler dealer said he'd never in his life seen a paint job like this one.The build sheet is as follows:Engine:Pontiac 400 block, 4.20 boreEagle Stroker Crankshaft W/4.210 StrokeAll new cam bearings, freeze plugs, and oil galley plugsEagle 3â€D 4340 Steel Hâ€Beam Connecting RodsKeith Black high performance pistonsPerformance ringsThreeâ€piece true double roller timing setPerformance camshaftHigh rev lifters (antiâ€pump up)Edelbrock Aluminum Cylinder Heads With 2.11 Intake And 1.66 Exhaust ValvesChrome moly push rodsScorpion aluminum roller rockers w/1.65 ratioHigh volume oil pump and screenNew chrome oil pan, dipstick & tubeNew timing coverProfessional Products performance balancerMarch Pulleys serpentine systemFelâ€pro performance gasketsBalanced rotating assemblyEdelbrock Performer RPM intake manifoldEdelbrock carburetor w/ electric chokeNew chrome air cleanerMSD proâ€billet distributorMSD blaster ii coil and bracketMSD 6al ignition controlNew high flow cast iron water pumpFelâ€Pro Performance GasketsTin Indian Performance Billetâ€Tek custom fabricated valve coversTransmission:200â€4R Transmission from California Performance / Art Carr Racing Transmissions200â€4R 10" HD 2600â€2800 Stall Torque ConverterSetrab Transmission CoolerShiftworks Shifter Conversion Kit & Cable for 200â€4R transmissionRear End:Moser 12 Bolt MusclePak with Eaton clutch posi, Timken bearings, 3.73 gear ratio1350 Series Pinion Yoke33 Spline Truetrac axlesExhaust:Doug Thorley Ceramic Coated HeadersPypes Polished Stainless Collector/ReducersPypes Polished Stainless Steel 2.5" System with Xâ€ChangePypes Polished Stainless Race Pro 14" MufflerPypes single switch electric exhaust cutout kitWheels / Tires:Rocket Racing Wheels "Fuel" 15x front / 15x rearBF Goodrich Radial T/A tiresBrakes:4â€wheel disc brake systemSuspension:Hotchkis TVS (Total Vehicle System) Suspension
