Performance:

·’72 Pontiac 455 bored .040 (464 CI), built by Pro Auto in Crown Point, Indiana.
·9.5 to 1 compression ratio.
·Crower hydraulic cam #60242 with .456 intake and .468 exhaust lift.
·7M5 heads, ported and polished. Heads were shaved and block decked .020 to get 9.5-1 CR. Heads have bigger 2.11/1.77 valves.
·Edelbrock Performer RPM intake with a Holley 750 Double Pumper Carb.
-Converted to E85, runs stronger and smells nice :)
·Hooker Competition Headers with Flowmaster Force II exhaust. Exhaust is 2 ½ inch true dual, with H-pipe and a transverse muffler. The muffler is in stock location, behind axle. It is a 2 in and 2 out dual exhaust. The benefit over the 2 muffler exhaust is there are no ground clearance issues. And it has the nice deep Flowmaster sound.
·Holley high volume mechanical fuel pump fed by braided line all the way back to the sump on the gas tank.
·Drop pan made by Protouring F-body (http://www.pro-touringf-body.com/index.html), this allows the shaker to be mounted stock while using an aftermarket intake.
·MSD 6A ignition system with 8mm accel wires.
·Chrome Moroso valve covers and oil pan. Oil pan has baffle to prevent oil starvation during hard cornering.
·High volume oil pump.
·Milodon High volume aluminum water pump.

Front dropped 1 inch and polygrafite bushings all around.
Rear, 1 leaf removed on new springs to drop it down an inch.

700R4 overdrive tranny with stock 3.23 gears
driveshaft shortened
subrfame connectors
