Default 8 second 64

I got this car in the late 90's In usual form I immediatly tore it apart. Reworked rear suspension (four link), fabricated new front suspension from mustangII parts. Had a Glide built with brake and Neil Chance converter. The original 454 came out and I built a gen IV 509 with reworked GM heads, 671 blower, 2 1000cfm 4150's, Jesel belt drive, 200hp shot nitrous, etc. I put 31" tall Hoosier ET street tires 23.5 " wide under it. It was a great dual purpose hot rod. I put the big pulley on blower with 8.5-1 engine and could drive on street with pump gas, Little pulley on blower with 104 fuel more timing and different jets, it ran high nines. Change plugs and timing, hit the nitrous and ran high 8' @ 160mph on DOT tires. 1.35 60 foot times in a 3250lb car.
