List; A while back my Partner at the time, Gary Williams, bought a 350
Monza. It had the same 4 lug wheels. Gary installed a roll cage, strong 302
SBC, and 4 speed. He got the El Mirage D/P record for a short time. He than
bought a new crate 454 LS7. Bolted on Hilborns, a Vertex and some killer
roller cam, went out and ran just under 200. All this with the OEM rear end
and 13 inch wheels. Z rated tires.
The tape player was still working last time I saw the car. Rich Fox
PS He put the 350 in his El Camino tow car. Waste not - want not
