This one's for you Johnny!!
Few weekends ago I went to my G/f's family in southern ontario. Her uncle (his name is Bill) owns a 1970 Cutlass.
Specs (sort of, lol)
1970 Cutlass
455 Big block, over bored .020
Roller rockers, comp cam.
Custom rods and high compression pistons
over sized valves w/ springs
turbo 400 auto trans
3xx gears (
)
custom flow master exhaust w/ no cat, dual 3"
MSD box w/ coil.
I do have a short vid. nothing spectacular went to canadian tire and he got on it on the way home a little.
Some Mazda mx-6 w/ rims/paint actually tried to race.. it was such a joke..
ok.. on to tha pics!

I had a set on my 81 Camaro and my brother had some on his 68 Camaro. They're cheap, shiny and get the job done

Re:This one's for you Johnny!!
me and johnny are the only ones who can appreciate this car for what it is... sad.
In the US catalytic converters weren't required for cars built before 75.
Yes Mickey Tompson makes valve covers, nice high rise ones to support your tall over ratio rocker arms. Many people prefer them, I've had a shitty set in the past.
It does look clean, I like how he flat black painted a bunch of the ----, but there is a lot of room to improve upon.
That cast iron intake manifold is a piece, that should be replaced with an aluminum one; the model depending on where he wants his RPM range set at, my ---- is all about the lower revs for towing/rock climbing. I can't tell for sure but I think he has a stock quadrajet carb hiding under there (unless he got a replacement ------ bore one that hides pretty low). That carb needs to go. I have the exact same air filter lid, Edelbrock 14" but that filter that comes with it is an absolute piece of ----. It lasted me about two weeks before I decided to throw it away and get the largest K&N filter made (it's either 14x6 or 14x
which works out real well, have barely any flow restrections (makes tuning the edelbrock carb easy for that matter).
Just my .02 on the thing - yeah I'm domesticated
