The 289ci V8 was rebuilt and bored .030” over by Alec’s Automotive Machine Shop in 2017. Components were cleaned and magna-fluxed, the rotating assembly was balanced, the surfaces were machine-decked, the crankshaft was polished, and additional work included rebuilding the cylinder heads, grinding and polishing the valves, installing a COMP Cams camshaft, and replacing the pistons, rocker arms, lifters, and rod and main bearings. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a differential with 3.50:1 gearing.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a column-mounted Rally-Pac tachometer and analog clock as well as a 140-mph speedometer and gauges displaying fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature.
The five-digit odometer shows 39k miles.
