[redbird68]

I got kicked off my parents insurance and lost my license right out of high school, rolled a couple cars and 36 tickets in 3 years, hard to believe but i would get pulled over for speeding or careless and imprudent driving and they would give me 6 tickets for equipment problems. Sucked. The car i did not roll was a 68 bird 350 two barrel car, auto. i had done pretty well at keeping it running but had no clue except hot rod mags as to how to build a performance engine. i tore it down since could not drive anyway. took the block into a machinist and it was trashed. he had a 455 block though....i bought and put the base 350 heads on it. not sure what compression was but i brought home a battery from a crane at the construction company i worked at, plus a 3rd party hand built starter to turn it over. The infamous '3/4' race cam'. got it to run and drove it up the street a few times. ran terrible.
