My old '75 T/A, bought it from a good friend in '81. Sold it in '90.

Had three different powertrains while I owned it.
1) Original short block, but w/ '70 #13 heads, 068 cam and a '71 HO intake. TH400 with a 3.42 gear. Mid 14's in the 1/4.
2) Complete '71 455HO engine, stock heads, cam and intake. Still a TH400 and 3.42 gear. Mid 13's.
3) SD455 engine, 10.5:1, ported heads, UD 288/296 flat solid, TH400 and a 4.10 gear. 11.90's @ 112.

These pics were shot at one of our Gulf Coast Trans Am Club drags, prolly in the mid eighties. The strip is long gone, replaced by apartments and commercial developments. It used to be the Houston International Dragway.
