Re: Factory big block and ac swb 1970
What was done to the engine? I'm guessing a 402?

What problems did you have w/ the POR15?

Look'n good in the neighborhood!!!

Re: Factory big block and ac swb 1970
I'm hoping 425 hp no lower than 400 hp. The por 15 didn't care the way I wanted it to. I also got a good deal on the powder coated.

Great looking chassis. I'm definitely following this build, I have a similar swb big block that I'm restoring and this will be great motivation.

Re: Factory big block and ac swb 1970
Nice build , if you don't mind me asking where did you get your tank I really like how it fits the frame and the clearance it still offers
