Hey everyone I'm from Delta BC recently new member here found it looking around and sure glad I did lots of great stuff on here well here's my car and what its about.. 68 Hardtop , I have owned the car for 12 years (First car I bought at 17 yrs old) and have have done alot of running gear playing around with it, now In the last couple years done some rust repair and have had the body work finished, and waiting for paint now.
It has a 377 stroker with a solid lift cam done all up nice, th350 with a 3500 stall and shiftkit, 12 bolt with 4:56 gears eaton posi. The car runs in the mid 12's and goes really good on the street, nice and loud get lots of looks. Thanks guys.

Nice car, That 377 is a screamer. I have been thinking about a 383 for mine. Those stroker kits are getting cheap.

YA its a screamer alright on Sat. I had her up to around 7300 RPM in first and it was still pulling strong I've had it pull close to 8000 it gets up there quick with the gears I'm running. I bought the bottom end off a friend and he had for a while so it wasn't a kit it's built from scratch, 12 to 1 domed pistons, polished rod's all built strong then I have to run the open chamber heads so I can get away with 94 octane gas.

I'm still in the middle of dropping a fresh 455 into it. Still playing with new brake lines and inner fenders are ready for paint. I'm driving the yellow one.

I guess I should put some new pics of my engine which i have given a face list too. Check her out all freshened up with new paint and ceramic coated headers,intake and valve covers. I got all my original one's coated and man that was a good choice.
Very nice looking engine compartment and well orginized
