Thanks Brian. Car was originally a 350/4 speed SS. I found the computer card in the rear seat. The original owner drove it for 2 years before he died. He was a Viet-Nam soldier. Raced it at the local Pennsylvania tracks and scattered the original engine and trans. It sat in his dads dairy farm barn for 22 years. I talked to his dad a few times. It has some flat plates welded on the front sub-frame for a tow bar. The rear fender lips are rolled so he could get a 10" tire under it. Real nice job on the fenders.

I started another project here today, but when I get some time I'll post a few pictures of the 34 for your dad to look at. What the hell, I'll stick some of the Nomad on here too.

I took a buddy for pretty good ride in it. When we got back, he said "This SOB is LETHAL!" It goes pretty good.

Interesting back story to go along with it. What gears are in it?

I think something similar happened with my 69' Malibu. The original engine and transmission are long gone. Had a B body 300 HP 350 and an early 3/4" shaft M20 in it. The M20 I picked up for the car recently is out of a 69' Nova. The guy I bought it from grew up in Detroit.
