so this is the car I have ended up with in the deal for the Roadrunner.
it is a 65 plymouth satellite coupe, powered by a 383 big block with a vortec V2 supercharged with an intercooler and 100hp NOS kit. tricked 727 box with a diff (dunno what it is most likley 8 3/4 3.5 ratio)
It has 330mm front brakes and 300mm rear but I think it need a bigger master cylinder(low pedal)
It needs some minor bit and pieces done for it to be spot on such as speedo connected, new fuel cell fitted, reverse lockout switch connected and the front seats needd to be thrown away and some low back ones fitted (anybody got some? mustang or similar)

goes real well!!
I havent done a lot of driving yet, but it is very responsive and has great road manners for such a fast car.
Apparently it has run 11's with NOS, but I am thinking i will take the NOS off so if it still runs 12's I'll be happy

Sweet car.
You seem to have a love of B-bodies.
And 15s would look betterer.Especially with the correct scoop.
The scoop on it looks to be a VK SS scoop.

Nice work Alan, That looks real cool. Just noticed the similarity in rear roof pillar to the thunderbird of similar year. Hope you can find some steelies and dog dishes too.

well I have finally finished fitting the new fuel cell and tidying up the boot. I even got the fuel gauge working!
Sorry about the bad pic!
(yes I have added straps since this pic)

I have found some low back seats that should be here in a week or so.
