LOL! I was NOT expecting this. I expected somewhat of a beater that you planned to bring back to life. Wow, that is a beauty. I love it! :beer:

Here's a trick on the kirkeys that worked great for me:

1. Go to walmart and buy two "memory foam" pillows

2. make cardboard template of flat seat base on the kirkeys

3. Use template to make bottom cushion-foam trims best with an electric carving knife

4. Use velcro on seat base and foam insert so its removable and washable

This not only gives you max comfort in a race seat but will elevate you some as well!

Dont see why proline would bother building a stock block motor...

They are just and engine/machine shop at the end of the day. I'm not saying it is, but I've read the add and recall it being a production block. Not a stronger one either. Op could enlighten us.

Im pretty sure i read in the add that it is a 351 based stroker. They are capable of holding much more power than a 2 bolt 302.

I know that, just thought it was a 302 :beer:.

Surprised it took as long as it did for someone to get this car. The parts, paint, and everything else. Was also priced right.

Thanks Buddy, I will give that a try for sure!

Mexican block 302 stroked to 352.



Thank you

Am I mistaken something on the block? Its its right below 600hp isnt that already pushing it for these even though they are a little bit stronger? Idk if I would want to see a tuner to turn it up anymore, may be an expensive lesson. But all in all awesome car man, I saw it for sale and was in love with it, just didnt have funds! Still didn't know why the previous owner spent so much money on the car and proline engine to keep a mexican block.
