| Modifications and changes Drivetrain: Replaced cast iron intake with Edelbrock Performer(EDL2161) Qjet and replaced the 1406 with a 1975 Qjet. Replaced Accel HEI with a ready-to-run MSD 8360 and Blaster2 coil. Working on cleaning up engine bay. Replaced the worn out 4 core(auto) radiator with a new Modine 4 core(manual) radiator, new repop shroud, and replaced the flex fan with a 7 blade clutch fan. Car was originally a 4-speed, so made the complete swap back with a 1970 Muncie M20. Suspension Front: Replaced upper and lower ball joints, bushings, coil springs(correct height), and a severely cracked passenger side lower A-arm. Rear: Purchased F41 rear suspension(boxed lower control arms, sway bar) Purchased correct rear springs to get back to stock ride height but, rearend width with new tires would not allow the swap. Couldn't take the granny P205/70/R15 on 15x7's anymore so, they were replaced with Wheel Vintique Corvette Rally's wrapped with Goodyear Eagle GTII's. Front wheels: 15x7 with 4" backspace tires: P235/70/R15 Rear wheels: 15x8 with 4-1/2" backspace tires: P275/60/R15 |

| Modifications and changes Drivetrain: Purchased a 1967 Muncie M20 and learned how to do a 4-speed rebuild(came unassembled in a box). Found a 1966 12 bolt with 4.10 gears and had it rebuilt with 3.42 US Gears and a new Eaton posi. Suspension Rear: As a result of the rearend swap, I was finally able to install the coil springs from the previous year with no tire rub. Replaced upper control arms with BMR adjustable tubular uppers. Interior: Replaced the bonestock factory AM radio with a USA6 Custom Autosound AM/FM receiver. Working on an inexpensive alternative for the factory under dash tachometer. |
