Well my '71 is done, so no upgrades to it, but the old gasser is getting a new face lift at the end of the month!
I just took the 327 apart and installed new aluminum heads with 2.02/1.60 SS valves, 1.6 rockers, stud girdles, 292/292, .488" cam, which equates to a little over .500" lift with the 1.6 rockers. New gear drive timing set, and freshened up bottom end. Had to add a vacuum reservoir to the system to keep the Subaru brake booster happy, as the new cam doesn't build the vacuum the old one did.

But if you don't have pics we cant vote on you effectively. Also if your mods are not installed, have them with the car.

I will get a copy of the current "ROTM Rules", Update them and make them easier to read, and post them in each nomination thread. Lets get the nominations going guys (and girls)...
