I bought everything from the fan to the 3.91 Sure Grip 8.75" and it all went into my unsuspecting, sad-looking '64 Valiant.

Now, I had my 340 A-body...

With the the addition of a 3,000-pound clutch, a 4.56:1 limited slip, headers, slicks, a "Riddler" Stock eliminator Lunati cam, and blocked heat-risers, I now had a 12-second street ride that was still the saddest-looking sleeper you ever saw...


The only car I've ever owned that was never outrun...

Here's a picture of the "Trojan Horse".... and the "business office... hee hee...

Never raced for money, but I DID outrun a lot of unsuspecting motorcycles with it. It was just a tick faster than the 4-cyl. 900 Kawasakis, which were new at the time... They, of course, never saw it coming... lol!
