Engine: The engine was completely rebuilt around 10k miles ago. This rebuild included new crankshaft (polished) camshaft ceramic coated pistons block cold tanked rings bush standard ration rocker arms high performance lifters chrome moly pushrods adjustable cam sprockets oil pump water pump distributer (solid state) MSD ignition tri-metal main and rod bearings and GM alternator conversion. The flywheel has been lightened and the entire engine was dynamically balanced such that every piston and rod was balanced within .5 grams of each other.
Of course there was the fitment of the Rootes type Supercharger. This also included the fitment of a single SU carb and a different fuel pump. There is a pressure gauge under the hood to monitor the fuel pressure. Every detail has been attended to in fitting and setting up this supercharger. I have dyno readouts that were done for this car: 128.4 Hp and 175 lb-ft torque (stock is 91 Hp and 123 lb-ft torque). Remember these are rear wheel figures not at the crankshaft.
Transmission/Overdrive: The clutch has been altered from stock. It utilizes a Gunst throw-out bearing which is a significant from stock. A new clutch master cylinder was also fitted. The transmission and J type overdrive have been completely gone through with new seals. The car shifts perfectly and the overdrive works effortlessly. The car was also fitted with a high-torque starter motor.
Suspension/Brakes: The car has been fitted with KYB Gas tube shocks sway bars front and rear Front spindle reinforcing kit slotted rotors Toyota 4-piston calipers in front finned rear brake drums master cylinder and residual pressure valve. As mentioned above the car is equipped with Dayton tubeless center lock wire wheels (to the tune of $1200). These wheels are all chrome and require no maintenance.
Interior: The interior has been completely redone using ’69 seats and fully rebuilt pre-72 gauges. The speedometer after it was rebuilt was set to the mileage on the car. So the mileage listed is close to original. The window mechanisms have been replaced and the dashboard is a beautiful birdseye maple. The top is in beautiful shape and I have the boot and the tonneau cover. I also have a complete car cover. There is a neat electronic gauge under the dash that monitors boost engine fuel/air mixture and fuel pressure. The wiring to the headlights has been relayed for long life. The key has been moved to the center of the dash like the ‘69’s. Everything works on this car!There is much more to this car than I can even explain here. I have many more photos if wanted. If you have any questions please call me at (315) 247-9168.
I forgot to mention that I have a number of extra parts that go with the car including a new window/top rubber seal kit (not that it really needs it) the original gauges valve cover and dash pad (the portion where the key was moved to) a Goode bushing kit and a bunch of other parts. thank you!
Thank you! Eugene
