I have a 72 Jav and it's better than average I got 3rd in my category at the World of Wheels Classic car show but still needs work.

The Motor has had a little help.
401 + .30
Ross Forged Pistons 9.4 to 1
800 Edelbock AVS
Torquer intake
comp cams 274h
Harland sharp bolt on rollers (nice piece)
Ford Big cap Electronic distributor (recurved)
Hooker Headers
Bigger Carter fuel pimp

The tranny is built up and has a modified torque.
727 W a shift kit.
The torque is too small, it grabs about 2400 and W the cam I need to stall about 3200.

Legs are too long 3:15's and will be changed next year.

This years goal wa to get the new 401 and 727 in and running fairly well. Next year it geta a ford 9" and a new torq and we go to the track.

I'll have to see if I can post a pic somehow.
