The replacement 389ci V8 breathes through a tri-power carburetor system and features a Kinetics camshaft, Pontiac Blue Metallic engine block and intake manifold, and chrome air cleaner lids and valve covers.

The engine was rebuilt and balanced during the refurbishment.

The battery was replaced in 2023, and the carburetors were refreshed and tuned for use with ethanol-blended fuels.

A fluid service was performed in 2023.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission and a 3.55:1 Positraction rear differential.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, an 8k tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure.

The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 68k miles, TMU.
