Runs and drives like new! Perfect little sleeper.
Excellent condition, robin's egg blue, cream interior, full body off restore 10+ years ago, very clean, great driver, no rust. w/ extra parts.
New engine & transmission installed in 2008:
Chico Performance Racing Professionally Built 2332 Engine
172 Hp 170 lb or torque
Compressions is 8.75 to 1
I wanted a rock solid, dependable engine with tons of torque and plenty of power for highway speeds.
After 6 month of interviews, phone calls, and research, I decided to let Chico, who's reputation for motors is excellent, build the motor.
Needless to say, Chico delivered that and then some.
This engine is a rock. Never have any issues with it. Carbs have been solid.
This motor can easily put out more hp with bigger carbs, etc, but I wanted a dependable street motor that requires no fuss & no tinkering. It is that, and plenty fast.
