Nice work Lee.

Bandaid... that street car in the backgound is that clean anywhere you want to look.... and goes into the 9's at 140 mph....with a 2004R... that Lee built.

He is a talented old fart!

compliment

That gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Will get a couple pics tomorrow. Installing the 70 GTQ--headers and valve covers tomorrow. Dropping in next week. The car is super clean--tubular cradle--tubular a-arms---12 bolt Chevy rear--Q-A1 shocks. I will try to get some under carrage pics when I go back---Car is @ RPM trans shop. Rodney (owner) is very proud of it as he should be.

Why not go with GN1 heads?

 

[RUSTYNAIL]

I am under the understanding that to go with GN heads I would have to remove the AC. This started out as a very mild build. I am basically going to get the chassis set-up with this combo and next winter build a new engine combo.
