Default A 535 Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Proud to say my Stockish looking 535 "421 63 SD Lemans" tribute is coming along.

Checkout the progress on Rodney Butler's facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/rodney.butl...94858367219214


Hope to marry the new powerplant into the LeMans in the next couple weeks!

Big Thanks to:

Rodney Butler for the great work and Patience with the old induction stuff
Tom Schlauch - Bath Tub Intake/Carbs
John Reeder - Carb Tuning Support
rskram (Hagen) - Great short block Assembly deal
Mark (Mad Dog Headers) for taking a 63 Dport Header Design and making a much improved drop in Round Port Header for a 63 Tempest
Gary Tallent (Blue Ghoast) - For the Inspiration & the great body work to the 63

See Pics Below & (early Dyno pull) .. hope there is some more left in it! ;-)

Oh Yeah, I'll get some pics of mine up here when I get the

See Ya at the Hot Rod Party tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback..... should be fun learning to drive this on the street.

Maybe look for a Hellcat or a Z06 to play with!
