That's really cool.

I remember when Jim had it for sale on here, years ago.
Authentic RoundPort 455HO engine.
Something was weak with an area of the chassis from being a tow vehicle.

I'm sure you remedied whatever it needed.
The engine was worth about as much as the asking price at the time.

Yes, there's distortion of the front frame rails where the A-arms mount. It had negative camber which could not be corrected even with the maximum number of shims. I got it to positive camber by welding 3/8" thick spacer plates where the upper A-arms mount. It drives good now.
I believe it was Ed DeFrehn (sp?) in Florida who built the 467" engine. I've put another 60k or so miles on it and have yet to even remove a valve cover!

I bear no resemblance to Burt Reynolds!

Here's a pic of Burt and Jack.
