Well it's not a Buick unfortunately.

After evaluating my mental health over the winter I decided that a sled was maybe not the safest rig in the world to run on asphalt against cars. Picked this up a few weeks ago, going to get to work asap on it. Came with a disassembled Cleveland and a c6 w/brake. Gonna fire it togethjer with the existing parts and then decide what changes to make.

There's always a right tool for the job, but usually one within reach that will do.

NICE! Needs a big maple leaf on the doors.

If you need a low buck Ford engine, I've got a 302, 4bbl, cam'd up, headers, in a 1979 stripped out Mustang (read that as "track ready") I'd let ya have for $900 complete. Just want to move that Ford outta the yard. Has a brand new battery. Hell, that's $100 right there.

Not sure, I have a pretty busy summer already without this thing.

The engine is at the machine shop, had a quick boo at the trans, just going through the suspension brakes now. hope to maybe shake it down at the sept race? Coming down for the chassis cert on saturday to see just how much "attention" I can give this mill.
