"Sid Vicious" aka "yeller" My 79 chevy

[deth_1970]

I bought this truck about a year ago from a friend for $2,000, is was smoking bad out the passenger side exhaust when I bought it, that turned out to be the vacuum modulator,

the truck was mainly stock, it had a low compression, mid 70's emission 350, that was installed by someone prior to my friend getting it,


this is how it looked when I got it
since then I had a blowout doing 70mph down the hwy, it put a nice dent in the drivers side door and took some trim and my emblem with it

then about a month ago my coil went out, thought it might the whole dist so in the process of changing it out, I had a case of "well since I'm here's" I ended up doing this to it




added a single plan strip dominator intake, a set of 305 heads with 1.94/1.5 valves, unshrouded for 2.02's, milled and acid ported, with stainless steel valves

added a cam, a Lunati 40119 solid lifter cam, .
Duration @ .050": 256°-268°, Lift: .550"-.571", Lobe Separation: 106°
which was more than I planned but a Buddy had it laying around and told me to take it,

also had a set of scorpion 1.5 roller rockers that I added

altogether it has 10.5-1 compression (58cc heads plus -13cc to -18cc dished
pistons
estimated hp 450 with 400 tq

planning on installing a 2500 stall, and 3.73 gears

and I have changed the grill, and removed the push bars from the bumper
