After years of sourcing parts, countless hours of bodywork and **** loads of cash ( as have been taken for many a ride by so-called panel beaters and mechanics), and over 20 years in the making I am happy to introduce old black betty ( bam bah lam like the song, as let's face it all her children have gone wild from what I can see you and what you lads get up to today is pretty wicked with the hp you are getting these days) the old girl is in the final stages of completion and thought I would throw a few pics up to see what you all think so far and if she is still turns a few heads, she has a sly stock looking 308/355 fully forge stroker yt heads (rollerised of course) Edelbrock manifold 650 vac secondary carby all arp bolts 4 bolt main 580 tough cam(hydraulic) billet msd extreme lightweight flywheel and extreme big plate organic clutch to match the muncie m21 rock crusher box out of a corvette and putting it to ground is a eaton true trac salsbury 10 bolt spool convertion with good old aussie made performer headers to give her the old school rumbbling sound ( converted to 4 into 1 each bank/headr pipe). Have original vynle interior in pristine condition to be fitted as well as agi half cage (4 point removable for cruizing and cams approved when fitted for some fun on a track) have gone with the Wilwood boosterless brake set up with vt front brakes and bias control.. some say are useless and other say are good so I guess you don't know unless you have a crack and see for youself and find out what's what( and wilwood have supplied road set up not burnout type and say are ok as does Harop and Castlemaine rod shop and are willing to help in set up of system for road use.) Note car in mock stage and not finished yet...
