That's what my engine looked like 9 years ago. In 1995 the Edelbrock Performer came out and my wife bought it for me for Christmas. It hasn't stopped yet.

Nice progression, looks like youve spent a good amount of $$. Are you still running the stock lower end?

Got it from a guy in California, Had it chromed and the guts updated to 200 amps. I don't remember what he paid to have it chromed...around 100.00 or so.

Old pic

LOL, that's funny. Heck I made changes to mine so fast I never bothered to take any before pictures of the engine bay. My current sig mod list was the first year!!! This year is the AFM Vortech Stg I kit to start and I have a waiting list behind that. Of course if the Diff goes which it probably will, that's one thing. Then if the old 100K block goes, then there's the 331 stroker.....

Never ends. Oh well living the american dream, as long as there's credit, there's mods and HP....
