Title: After 3 years I finally took it out!
Post by: xchevyx24 on September 18, 2015, 03:14:35 PM: 3 years or restoring and rebuilding everything, I was able to take it to Silverwood today. 78 20.5 cheetah jc bowl stock 454 ran 49 mph. Only problem was the throttle sticking a little. Maybe some fine tuning will get me 50 lol
