Nickname: Lula Mae
Mileage:
Engine: 400 w/ Edelbrock 600 cfm carb, Weiand intake manifold, 9:1 pistons, bored .030 over.
Drivetrain: Stock. Want to upgrade to Dana 60 front/rear and heavy duty u-joints.
Notes: 400s are great engines if built correctly. Watch for cracked heads and go aftermarket. No reason why you can't get 300 hp/350 lb/ft torque for a reasonable amount of money. Mine is a great daily driver. 12 mpg city/14 mpg highway.

After 18 months of sitting, this is how it looked. Lots of varnish and carbon build-up
