These two thumbnails show the "Green Turd" from the outside and then the engine compartment. As you can see, there's a bit of a difference. While the exterior was left "ratty", the mechanical parts were given quality treatment. "Work done" includes:
> Ported & flowed aluminum Edelbrock Buick "stage-1" heads
> Custom ground Erson cam designed around the "flow numbers" from these heads
> roller rockers - 1.67 lift ratio
> aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold - "port matched" to the heads
> rebuilt and recalibrated Quadrajet 820 CFM carburetor
> 1" phenolic spacer between carburetor & intake manifold
> TA Performance chrome headers, "X" crossover pipe, 2.5" dual exhaust
> Mallory "Unilite" electric ignition; distributor, coil, wires, "Hyfire-6" control module
> TA Performance timing cover/performance oil pump with adjustable regulator
> AM&P external oil filter and balance tube (feeding oil to the rear as well as the (stock) front of the main oil gallery)
> "Accu-Sump" oil accumulator (holds 3 quarts of oil in reserve under pressure & releases it to the main oil system if pressure drops)
> 20 gallon aluminum fuel cell with Mallory electric "pusher" fuel pump & regulator with return line
> battery relocated to the back - trunk area
> 17" aluminum wheels with Yokahama 55 series, "Z"-rated tires
> Home built fiberglass air dam, proven in coast-down testing to reduce drag in the 60 to 110 MPH speed range.
> "Moon-Eyes" aluminum "salt discs" on all 4 wheels
> Suspension lowered for 2" height reduction, new shocks
> All new steering & suspension neoprene bushings
> mechanical oil pressure & temp gauges, aftermarket tachometer and "Livorsi" marine GPS speedometer
> "Gear Vendors" overdrive on back of transmission (105 MPH = 1800 RPM)
