GOOD ENUFF is complete

[crf311]

Well, after about 6-8 months my 20' 75 Sunkist restoration is complete. I want to thank my wife and brother in law for the help. I would like to thank you people who answered some of my questions here on the board. What started out as just trying to put a jet together as cheap and fast as possible has taken a little more money and time than expected. But the end results are worth it. The motor is a 454 with 9.5 compression. Solid tapet cam. .615intake lift .626 exhaust 249 degree duration lob sep 110 advanced 6 degree. rect port heads, Demon 850 DP. It has about 450-500hp. Here are the pics from begining to end. Sorry for the big pics, this is my first post with pictures, all other post have been dump questions.

Total cost was around 6k. I could have saved about 3K if I wouldn't have put so much into the engine.

Looks awesome! I'm just starting to do the exact same thing to a '76 CobraJet, so I may be getting ahold of you for some advice! :cool:

Thanks all. I was planning on spending all week end on it, but now it looks like I had to get ready for a hurricane. Hope it doesn't come this far west to new orleans.
