And good to see you putting something back together to get on the track for some fun this year. I have a '73 Barracuda with a 440, street driven. I have often said I will park it and cover it up for years before I sell it. I couldn't afford to buy it back if I sold it.

Since I can't drive my beater for another 1-3 years I am thinking that it might be time to part company with it... Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

The old 446" started out running mid 12s and got down to an 11.35 with changes. It now has a Victor headed 512 RB that has run 10.15 with a mild tune. Not bad for a boat that is over 3500# Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!
