Default 1st gen from across the pond!!!!

Hi most call me shrek (step daughters named me that!!!! real name Ian)
four years ago I got hold of a 68 SS camaro with a 400ci small block (not original block)
had it overbored after chucking some mains bearings round the crank.
It now has 406cubes and in september 2005 it was put on a rolling road and pushed out
321bhp@ 3100revs and a mind numbing 442 ft. lbs of torque at 2100revs.
Team - G manifold with 650 edelbrock sits on top with cast iron heads and keith black pistons. MSD ignition and four core rad + 2 kenlowe fans cool it down.
Will post some pics on soon as I have had a houde of kolor paint job . silver base with candy apple red over with marbalised 68 stripe in black with candy over the top. oh yeah and ten coats of clear.

I live in the oldest recorded town in England, Colchester where Boudecia conquered the Romans
good to be here
cheers
Shrek
