i almost forgot this incarnation of my car.

then it made me remember the fatal flaw of the superram - it binds up the 700r4 TV cable. i miss it just because it looks so cool, but it was such a pain to R&R.

I'll play this game since my before and after were such radical opposites of each other.

This is roughly how the 350 looked when I bought the car in '99. The block that was in it cracked and I rebuilt it but I put everything back together the way it was just to get it on the road. In this pic I had pulled the master and booster for a Hydrobooster swap.

Here is how the new 405 looks today minus a few details like plug wires, new meal fuel and vacuum lines.

Looks awesome!, one question why isn't there a vacuum hose connected to the PCV valve on the drivers side?

No problem. For reference the PCV line is stainless tubing, just like the fuel system and carb vac lines. I made as much as possible out of the stainless lines.

Then I made an electric choke for the carbs since one wasn't available.
