452 hp on the dyno and 2222 lbs on the scales. That's just under 5 lbs per hp.

May not be considered "muscle", 74 Caprice Classic Convert.
Hoping to do some work with the 400 SBC come spring if the cash is still in the piggy bank. Hope to let it breath a little better and get rid of some of the emission control stuff on it.
Potentially a new rag too if I can find the right shop/guy to do it as I've heard its no easy task to tackle on your own.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I will definitely get in touch when the time comes.

Over the years we've had numerous Chev trucks, Novas, Malibus, Cameros but have become more selective in our older age. These are now our keepers: 68 Chev Super Cheyenne 454, short, step, lowered, shaved door handles (my favourite) & 67 Malibu convertible (stock) & 68 Malibu hardtop, 454 (in progress) & 68 Camero drag car. Just moved to a nice acreage (for the dogs) but it has a 40 x 60 shop for the vehicles. Some nights we just sit in the shop having drinks and marvelling at our good fortune. When we're really partying, C12 goes in the Camero, doors are opened & we rock the neighbourhood just revving it up without going anywhere. Haven't raced since Race City closed because now all our spare time is spent on the dogs. Life is good!

Oh Yah - Almost forgot the jet boat. This was almost louder than it was fast. Probably a 70 mph ride on glass in 4 seconds. Kinda bad in the waves though. Got older & switched to aluminum jet with outboard for fishing. Used the motor in one of our vehicles & kept the high-rise with butterflies for a centrepiece.

'71 duster - had it since 2007, but only been on the road for a summer and a half - everything has been done. Aluminum headed 318 30 over with 9.5:1 compression, MSD ignition, hooker headers full dual 2.5" exhaust, Moroso axles and 4.10 rear end with Detroit locker. Rebuilt tranny with shift kit and custom 2800 stall converter. Currently building a 408 stroker to drop into it - but that is a few years down the road the 318 is pretty quick as it sits. Looking to get a good dynotune done on it this summer so that I can see where it is at.

Most guys don't expect an early 30's driver when they pull up beside - put a lot of blood sweat and tears into this one.
