Super job, Paul. Really nice attention to detail under the hood. So it was a "Street Freak". I can remember running into a few Street Freaks when I was "cruisin'".

Still own the car and it is still a street freak. Now powered by a 320 GMC 6 (1952 Vintage) Cross flow head, Algon injection modified to digital,11:1 comp, ad 3 stage NOX running on E-85. Trans is a Vitar 4 speed hydro-stick, 5:13 air lock rear. Gutted and lightened down to 2590 lbs. We go 5.0 hunting. If I lose well "you beat a 6 cylinder" When I win it's "you got smoked by a 65 year old 6 cylinder"
I may after it being raced since 1962 do a new chassis. It has to be tired after running everything from a 301 small block to a 6'71 blown 454 in it's 57 years as a race car. Paul

I had to go hunt this down - nice job - I wish I had had enough sense to hold on to some of my old projects like this - oh well live and learn.
