Original X44 - sadly not a COPO.

Look closely and you’ll noticed that a few things have changed since 1969. 

The 307 was replaced by a .030 454 and has an Edelbrock RPM Airgap intake and Aluminum heads, 9.5:1 compression, a Comp Cams 292 Hydraulic cam, MSD Ignition, and 850 Holley Double pumper. Trans is a Richmond Super T-10 Plus. Rear is a 10 Bolt ( Richmond 3.55 Gears, Auburn Posi unit, Moser axles),  power steering, and 4 wheel disc brakes.

 The big orange machine has been converted to a E85 conversion carburetor kit from "RaceonE85.com" Now I need to lobby for more "alternative" fuels in Austin. I go back and forth between Gasoline and E85 - I'm considering fuel injection to make the transition faster in the future. It's living on 91-93 Octane for now.

Here is the E85 build link.

Update:

Jan 2010 - I start the Pro Touring \G-Machine build I've been after. A complete Speed Tech Performance Pro Touring Kit with ATS AFX spindles, and a C5\C6 Big Brake kit from Kore3 Technologies have been ordered and are on the way. Wheels will be 18" WC3 Forgelines. More to follow...

June 2010 - G-Machine suspension build is complete.

August 2010 - Started the 496 build.
