The motor is a double throwdown triple quadrajet 440 twin supercharged 6 passenger, 3 tires,etc etc.

 

Just kidding its another s14 Sr20det swap.

 

 

Loving this project. I didn't see you post what motor you're running in this. I assume it's an SR20DET, but thought I'd ask. Looks like a very well executed project. Can't wait to see it run.

Application?

 

Building it for fun. Street, some track, and maybe a little drag racing?

 

My father in law bought this car brand new in 71. He tells the story of him being short by a couple of hundred bucks of buying a Z car. So he had to settle on the 510!

 

When I first met my wife. I remember walking in there garage and seeing this shape under a car cover. I asked her is that a 510? Yes, she replied. I knew right then I had to have the car!

 

I had one when I was a kid and loved it.

 

15 or so years later her dad and I had worked on it on and off. He offered to give it to us. It's been in my garage for 6 years. It's at a friends house now. He has been doing alot of work on it. He is very good at fabrication and great mechanical knowledge. Thanks Mark!

 

I don't think my father in law had driven it for at least 23 years.

 

I am really excited about him being able to drive it again. I think he will be impressed.

WOW! That is a ton of gages in the middle of the dash. Kind of reminds me of an airplane cockpit.

 

The center location can sometimes make reading them at a glance harder. There are marine specialty shops that sell angled bezels to fit your gages. These can help provide a better line of sight to the gage from the driver's seat.

 

Here are a few shops I found online.
