400 big block Chevy. Not sure on the tranny.
Very quick, and rides surprisingly nice given the low clearance. It’s been in various forms/colours throughout its life. Had a rumble seat in the trunk at one time. The license plate says “steel” so you know it’s not a kit/fibreglass job. Last pic is from a couple years back and I was following him in his ‘64 Olds.
I have pics of the last rebuild/fab work somewhere. The man is talented, been building cars his whole life. Still works full time at 77, says he doesn’t know what he’s do if he retired.
