I have been rambling around CC since last fall gathering info for this project. Thanks to those of you who have replied to my posts. After a few delays and my tangents to do " a few more things" our Hurricane is officially complete. I purchased HM1006 in January from a guy in Michigan turn-key minus, then proceeded to rip it apart and re-do a number of things to my liking. Most of my effort has centered around replacing the sheet metal, ripping out all the zip ties and split loom and adding a few things from an originality standpoint. I had originally planned on repainting it to a more authentic color while it was apart, but everyone who has seen it has pestered me about leaving it the existing color (Lambo titanium.) So I'll probably run it like this a while and see what happens. The car has a freshly rebuilt 1966 427 R-code Galaxie side oiler I found in a dairy barn in San Antonio last fall (isn't Craigslist wonderful?) with Medium riser heads, Le Mans crank and rods, Diamond pistons, Comp cam, Sidewinder intake with single 4 bbl and mated to a TKO600.
I'm working through some leaks (expansion tanks suck) and tuning issues but should have it mostly dialed in and stable shortly. I have met some of you at a few events and look forward to spending some time with the TCC.
Thanks,
Jim
