Overall a good looking ride. You've done alot of work on it and it shows. It'll look even better with a nice paint job.

350 1993 caprice cop car engine, rebuilt, and bored out .030 over. 355 ci, radical cam, ported and polished intake and heads, shorty headers, aftermarket injectors,... engine builder said it would easily be pushing over 400.
