With the high compression, stock rods, single plane and XE274, I bet he scattered it and sold the car. He's now got a Ford work truck and a mortgage. At least that's what happened to most of my old hot rodding buddies.
The guy that got me into pontiacs had a '67 matching numbers 400/400 firebird, black on black. It spun the number two rod in 2000. He swapped a Chevy 305 in it and drove it for about 6 months until he sold it, not running and in primer. The block got lost in a move and I have the 670 heads.
A girl I used to date got a small inheritance and promptly blew it on a black and blue'78 Z28 Camaro. Had a truck 327 and a single plane. I got it running OK, but then she traded it for an IROC with a V6 and a bad rear end.... Logic was not her best asset.... The Neanderthals she sold the Z28 to, blew it up at the dragstrip soon after.
Heck, even my white '67 is gonna be sold after I finish stripping it. Too rusted and the frame is bad.
So yeah most of these cars came to bad ends.
