This shows the TCI Mustang II Air Ride front suspension close-up along with the front sway bar I installed. TCI is the only company currently making tubular stainless A-arms for the Air Ride suspension.

This is the Chevy 350 powerplant. I called an old buddy engine builder, Don Barrington who I used to race with in my circle track days. I asked him to build me a “stout little street motor”. I should have been more specific. When he finally called me saying to come pick up my motor I got a surprise. Into the 4 bolt block he had inserted a steel crank, 10-1 Forged Pistons, 6” Manley Rods, A Crane camshaft, 3/8 push rods, double roller timing gear and chain, all ARP bolts. Everything had been shot peened, and balanced. Added to this are a set of the new Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads with 2.2 intakes. The result is going to be approximately 425 Horsepower. Oh well. Fry the tires Carl!.. Go ahead!!!!!

As this car is low, and the engine is mounted low in the chassis, I needed ground clearance and the stock pan would have been dragging the ground over every driveway. To solve that problem, I fitted it with a Milodon Circle Track Pan. It’s 1-3/4 inches shallower and holds 6 quarts of oil. It has baffles and windage tray built in and is exactly level with the bottom of the front cross member. Those good looking coated headers are from HPC with their unique flat collector for extra clearance between the frame and engine to allow plenty of room for the steering shafts and couplings.

As I said this car is going to be Looowww. I had to notch the frame for rear axle clearance.
