Not as nice as most on this forum, not to fast, not to much chrome and just a bit shy of stock.

Dep,
That is a 327/300 passenger engine with a clone L-79 top. Looks pretty. But we are talking four-door Impala family sedan engne.



But at least I have the proverbial ***** to use the car and enjoy it. The slow reaction time may be an age thing. Just kidding as usual. But with the low calorie motor and Powerglide the old 1967 did pretty well: 16.2 at 86mph. That's not far off from some late C3s.

Are all these engines street legal? (Im not to advanced with car stuff like most of you) But I have all those apparently unneccesary hoses, Air Pumps, and sensors all over the top of my 81 stock 350 that you can barely see the block.
