in the process of building my 67 street car,its been with me since 82 and tortured but i finnaly got smart and gonna do it right.shes gonna get a 455 beast to make her go:

Welcome aboard! Plenty of knowledge here to help you get there.

Got more info on you car?

well from what i have researched it was made in july of 67,a non a/c car with the 400 option.it may have been a HO car as it came with the 670 heads.it had the gold deluxe interior with the column shift th400 and bench seat,and had a custom ordered Q-Q color (veduro green).Now ive had her for along time and turtured her when i was young and sold off alot of the parts that made her special.i know,i know i wasnt very smart or educated and made some dumb moves. the cost of restoration is way to high for my income so i decided to make it a street car.here is the motor im building:

carb: holley 800cfm double pump

intake: original torker with water crossover cut off ported and polished

heads: 670 ported and polished 72cc with competition product spring and ferra valves with comp cam 1:65 roller tip rockers

push rods: comp cam brand

cam: comp cam xe284 with lifters

timing: cloyes tru roller

block: 73 455 "YY" code.... bore .030

pistons: seal power .030 forged flattop

rings and bearings : total seal file fit plasma rings with clevite bearings

rods: tomahawk 5140 rods with arp bolts

crank: original 73 .....turn size 10/10

oil pump:mellings m54ds

oil pan: stock

valve covers : chrome tall replacements

distributor : TSP 50,000 volt heady duty HEI with polished aluminum shaft

ignition system: MSD 6AL box

wireset : Taylor 8mm blue Spiro Pro

gonna be paired back up with th400,3000 stall going into a ford 9" with 4.11 gears. i blew up the original 10 bolt years ago and traded it and the factory ladder bar for the 9".yeah i know another goof ball move. sorry to be long winded but that it in a nut shell.

thanx for askin Tony

72cc heads on a 455?? Have you checked to see what the comp ratio is going to be? I hope you live close to an airport. Sounds like it's going to pass anything but a gas station.

Yup your going to need pistons with a 14+ CC dish to run pump gas.
Even with a 14 CC dish with my 16 heads i have 9.8:1 on my 455, ill be mixing some race gas to be safe.

Sounds like a good E85 combo.

Only problem is finding a station that sells it

might consider the e85 route but we will see: motor update

going to build CalTracs for it

going to break it in on a run stand first weekend of May then hope to drive in mid June.

ok heres an update...engine and trans in with headers,lines and hoses...little bit of electrical to go and i can start her....then the exhaust,wiring harness,drive shaft,caltracs,rear brakes and gears,gas tank....etc

Looks good
What size tire you got on the back, car sits nice.

So the interior should of looked like this.. just swap the black color for gold..

275/60/15 on an 8" rim,but i have to run a 1/4" spacer due to the wrong offset.

yes kyle exactly like that all though mine was not an a/c car.....but it still have the gold back seat,rear gold side panels and a set of standard gold belts....seems this car was a wierd option car...lol
