Default A car that is no stranger

Hello everyone,

You may remember the car in this video link. It was purchased about a year ago off this board and has since gone through a lot to get it where it is in the video. Still needs a few minor items to be where it should be. I want to thank, Chris “The Boss”, for making this video for me as I am a technology dinosaur.
Without going into great detail three major items had to be done (there are others, but that is for another day). The Ram Air IV engine had to be rebuilt with less than 100 miles on it, had to repaint the car as the “original” paint hid many sins and the whole electrical system had to be rewired.
The engine contains a fully forged rotating assembly 427 stroker kit and with the 30 overbore gets things to 433 cubes. The cam is a Butler custom grind Part #3315/3316HR112. Had the engine dyno’d before it was put in the car and got uncorrected numbers through ram air IV exhaust manifolds and repro RAIV intake manifold:
447 HP @ 5000RPM
535 TQ @3500 RPM

31 degrees total timimg all in by 3500 rpm used 93 octane and 9.9 compression.

Here is a partial list from the dyno:
RPM HP TQ
2500 247 520
3000 295 516
3500 356 535
4000 400 525
4500 431 503
5000 447 470
5500 436 416
5800 402 356

I’m very happy with the results of the rebuilt engine.

I know some of you will disagree with what was done, but it was done to save the car.

Let me know what you think.

Jim
