In fact, I can. The car never ran a all out quarter, as apparently those big ol' carbs didn't want to co-operate. However, I got a time slip from 1982. (See attachment)
There's also these photos from back in the day.
The engine was built professionally for a super bee race car. I think Beatty & Woods performance did the build but don't quote me on that.
The car raced sponsored by a local go-fast shop for awhile in the 70's before the whole place burnt down. My dad bought and pulled the engine and wedged it into that car in the picutre, and went racing.
Never really took any pictures of mine when I was younger. Had a 340 Duster I should have. The Fiero in the picture has a 3.4 Camaro engine done up. Just a nice little ride for show.
Going to make sure I get lots of pictures and have some fun before I kick the bucket.
Got one for show and hopefully one for go this year.

My 35 chev, I have had this car for 37 years, My Father bought it from a old guy he knew from his neighborhood. For power it has a 302 GMC engine bored to 320cdi and has all the period correct Mcgurk speed equipment, it is backed by a M-21 muncie and 3.90 gears.
I wasn't one much for pictures, but I have a couple, had to do a lot of diggin' to find these, I'm still looking for a few more I know I have somewhere. I scanned these pics, I need a bit of help on scanner settings.
The first car I had was a '68 Buick Wildcat, 2dr. with a 430ci., I have no pics of it. My 2nd car was this, a 1974 Plymouth Cricket. It was an ugly factory olive greenish with a 2000cc Mitsu. when I bought it with 24k's on it. Two months later, I dropped in a '72 Capri V6, and a Rally green (camaro) paint and blacked out grill, and it was a kewl little commuter for college, 1979.
Side shot out of focus, but gives you an idea, look at those wire rims!
Here's one I found of the '58 Bel Air were I bought it, in Edmonton, Alberta about 1981/82. That thing was bigger then the guys trailer, LOL.
The '75 Dart Swinger, started off with a slanty and standard Dart brown, and took on many different personas over the 2 yrs I had it. This is with the 225ci and 4bbl intake with header.
I'm still diggin', I know I have some of my '72 Demon, the '80 Monte Carlo, the '88 LeSabre T-Type, sweet little '79 Merc. Monarch., '80 Volare Duster.
