The car is my 1957 chevy. I took my driver's test in the car when I was 16 in 77. The motor is a 59 Canadian Pontiac 261 block, 235 crank indexed, equalized, balanced, drilled for a bolt. 302 gmc rods and venolia forged pop up pistons. It is unfortunately a heavy set up. Cam is a Schneider, 282 duration, 492 lift, solid lifter. Smith Brothers 3/8 chrome moly push rods, matching precision adjuster screws, stock rockers. 1.9 intake (GM 50-52 Powerglide intake), 1.6 Manley small block chevy street flow exhaust, little pocket porting to unshroud the exhaust valve, hogged out the valve bowls a little for the larger valves. Clifford long tube headers, Clifford 2x2 intake and a pair of Holley 350 2300 2 bbls, vertex magneto, about 6 degrees initial, 24 mechanical. Car weighs about 3500 pounds, Muncie m22z four speed with the 2:94 first gear. The 4:11s have been in the car since the very early 80s. I drive the car almost exclusively on the street, but take it to the trifive nationals in Bowling Green each year where I am inevitably the only 6 cylinder car running down the track. 2800 trifives and I am the lone inliner on the dragstrip, lol.
