Sounds like that 71 is a fun car. Always liked the 71's and 72's. There is a company that makes what they call a Raptor 700 or 4L60 that they raise the first gear so the ratio is closer. There may be a kit for that too. They say it drops 1/4 times by one second.

That was fun to watch too, thank you. Is that a 72 Cutlass that your friend is driving?

Thanks.

It's a '71 actually, which has some very cool things going on with it. It has every option available at the time and some late model options added as well, so it's heavy.

It also has a custom 4 bbl throttle body made from a 454 throttle body and a 350 throttle body, on top of an Edlebrock headed 455, with a fairly lumpy cam, that makes idle tuning painful, backed by a 4L80E, which is run by a '7060 PCM. I do all the tuning for him, and I think we've finally hit the limits of the PCM.

It's a very clean and well put together car, without getting overly fancy.

I knew you'd like it, but I was expecting a LITTLE more of a response. LOL!

Well, since my clutch has been bad for a while, and I just can't seem to get the new clutch in, due to not being able to get the new bellhousing finished, but it's close...

Anyway I used some footage from earlier this year to put together a short video that has ok sound...

I tried to make it a little more interesting than just raw video.... Let me know what you think.

Car is back up and running. Will put together a video soon. I'll be out tuning tonight for a bit.

Cool video man

So I edited the video a bit, cut some of the end off, added an intro title and some (copyright free) music...

Haha, sweet vid. I always wanted to do one of those.

I don;t have a GoPro, either. I call it a FauxPro lol. Swann Freestyle sports cam.

Fun to watch. That piece of grass or what ever is on one of the shock mount bolts was bugging me(lol).

Must be. lol

Not a GoPro, but close enough. lol

Mine is a WASPCam Gideon 9902.

Is it tradition to do a time lapse video upon purchase of GoPro? I have one somewhere too lol

Well, no videos of the car in motion, but I did take this time lapse of removal of what was left of the engine in the car.

I may edit it later with some music or something.
