I'll post upload some pics, but learned not to do my own builds some years ago.

Chassis is a Superformace (obviously)

Engine was built by Bill Parham. 325ci Boss block 425hp. I had the block bored against a 3" stroke to keep the same over square dimensions of the original 289ci and tried to match the original HP range. Induction was built by Jim Inglese with original fittings and the FIA water neck.

5speed Tremec and a 3.55 rear end.

Although not on yet, a Smiths tach is going in the car and I'll have a secondary fuel tank put in (all the plumbing is done).

Over time I'll personalize it a bit. Maybe the bull bar on the original, or a rally instrument pack.

I'll keep everything period.

Best,

Ron
