| Year: 1972; Model: LeMans; Exterior: blue; Interior: stock buckets (no roll bar yet) Engine: 1969 Pontiac 428 with Weiand 1 to 1, 6-71 supercharger; Cam Specs: Crane 230 / 238 @ .O50" , 112 LSA , .488" / .510 lift"; #66 casting 455 heads (about 7.6 to 1 compression); Muncie Rock Crusher with 3.55 gears (just for fun).
Acquired: 1984--under construction ever since
Usage: driven during the summer months only
Future Plans: Going with a Barry Grant fuel system this year, the fuel pressure drops to under 3psi under hard acceleration. 1/2" fuel lines with a Mallory 140 electric fuel pump have a hard time keeping up with the 2 Carter 750 carbs (and you don't want to lean out a blower motor.)
