Kansas? I remember the cars sitting in the back lot of the movie studio. I think it was Hot Rod Magazine or Car craft. I think he got a good package deal on them. I was a young teen when I read the story. Very cool✌️

You are probably correct. According to the May 76 issue of Street Rodder magazine Henry Travers found the car already chopped but full fendered. It had the 283, and he added a Man A Fre intake a T 10 4 speed and it had a 55-57 Chevy rear end.

Nope, 327.

But a properly set up clutch fan with a shroud will out cool an electric fan setup and your hp loss will be minimal.
