now that is a beautifull thing.
It's a 440 from a '74 Police Fury. I built it for torque, since I was only running 3.23's in the rear. It didn't rev very high, but man did it ever pull in the low end. I could peg the speedometer and still have pedal travel left. When I pushed it down all the way, it would still push you back in the seat even at that speed.
It didn't compare to the 440 in the Road Runner however, with it's .5" lift cam, 4.10 Dana 60 rear, etc. That baby had lots o' goodies on her. The line-locks were fun. :twisted:
A friend of mine currently has a
'70 GTX 440 Six-Pack he restored.
BTW, for you young'ins, a 440cid is a 7.2 liter.
The pic of Bob's drive was from one of the two "Burn-out Parties" we had at his parents' place. They went out of town, so we all brought our cars over and abused the asphalt for a day, then the next day we sealed the driveway to disguise what we did. The first one was such a success, we did another one three years later. The neighbors accross the street were having an open house that day. Heh. Oops.
The sealant didn't cover everything, but luckily his parents didn't say anything. The sealant was crappy enough on the first one that they didn't even notice that it had been sealed. (He told them it was a gift when we got better sealant for the second party.) His mom found the video just before Bob moved out and told him, "Don't you
ever let your father see this tape..." There are still these short tenches dug into the driveway from the first event when I pulled off one particularly sweet brake-stand in the Coronet
The picture doesn't show the true extent of the damage.
