i currently have a 360ci 400hp motor in it , and after 6 muncies , and 3 ST-10's , i currently have a cst iron saginaw 4 spd(was in a bind for a trans)

with the exception of the current motor @ trans and the exhast , SS hood , all options are orig as far as i can tell im the 3rd owner , and have had the car since 1987 i got the orig muncie shifter(YUK) , i have the orig block and crank , the rest of the motor was junk
