Gasoline

The engine has the original L-48 bottom end with cast iron GMPP vortec heads, a summit 224-234, .465-.488 lift cam, 1.6:1 roller rockers, and an Edelbrock performer RPM air gap intake. The whole thing is topped off with a Holley 950 commander throttle body fuel injection system and a Davis Unified Ignition distributor. The transmission is the original Borg Warner 4 speed with a hurst short throw shifter. The rear end ratio is a 3.70:1. The cruise RPM is 3500 at 75 mph and she can get up to 17 mpg. The exhaust is consisted of long tube headers, dual 2.5" pipes going through a 2-in 2-out catalytic convertor and is finished off with glasspack style mufflers. Overall, the body is in good shape. It's a 15-20 footer, not quite a show car but still looks really good and gets plenty of the looks and comments. Most of the imperfections are on the front bumper and front fenders, just a few chips here and there. The Interior is equally as good. Not perfect but still looks better then average. This car has no heat, A/C, or radio. When I bought the car, none of the three worked. The locks need to be turned by key, the power part of it doesn't work. As for the drivetrain, the engine has a leak coming from the rear main seal, about a $250 fix. It can still be driven but you need to watch the oil level. The headlights have been upgraded from the lame vacuum setup to a more reliable electrically actuated setup. I may deliver depending on distance. Please call Mark at 860-333-4905 with any questions.On Aug-29-10 at 10:46:42 PDT, seller added the following information: New pics have been added as because the original ones are too small.
