Car's looking good!

Rims and tires came out great.

Not sure if we'll have any shows this year in NJ with all things considered, but hopefully we'll see
the car out and about at the cruises soon.

Also got some new wheels and tires! 15x7 with 235/60 up front and 15x10 with 295/50 out back!! Really gives it that 70’s “street freak” look!!!

I also popped a valve cover off and found that the heads are 1970 291c castings. The build date on the door sticker is 1/71’ so I’m assuming the motor is a 10.2:1 compression 295hp version?

Next up, I’m thinking about putting a cam, lifters, and valve springs in it. Looking for a recommendation for a cam?

Also, I’m going to put some 2 chamber mufflers on so I get a little more “muscle” tone!!


Hi, Jake,
For sure, one of my key fob will look nice on your car. Check my post and let me know if you like them;
