Hi all, I've been lurking over these forums for several years now absorbing what information I could along my process.
I've owned my Roadrunner since i was 12 years old(20 years ago) one of my dads friend was selling it for his brother for 1200$. Worked all summer and made it my own.
Originally a 383 4-speed air grabber car. Did not come with the original engine, a transmission with a bad input shaft. Needed new rear quarters and inner fenders. Door striker areas destroyed, the usual issues. Over the years it stayed with me and mostly unmolested until roughly 2 years ago.
Settled into life I was finally into a position where i had my own shop and enough free time that I've made it my own all the while discovering what it takes to make them run again. As you can see it still has a long way to go, but I've finally driven her!
Main parts are the holley sniper ran 505ci engine backed to a 833 4-speed with a vertigate shifter, 4 wheel rightstuff power disc brakes. Digital dash, all new suspension components glass and seals. hopefully i have bumpers next week to boot!
