I have only driven it around the block, bought it Sunday as a non running car. Drained the tank, flushed oil and coolant, new plugs and it runs now, it is a 454, unknown cam, holley intake and street avenger carb, HEI with accel coil and wires and hooker super comp headers into 3" and dumps before the axle. The body is real rough, and the car sat in a warehouse for the last 12 years according to last owner. So it it is a monster and with the rocks for back tires it just smokes em. Even from like 15 mph 3rd gear will not hook up. So the engine is mean, what I cannot figure out is my 4 speed factory with the bench seat. Anyone know how to decode my body tag?

Welcome to the Site. PSST there is no replacement for displacement. Got to love the old big blocks.
