171.0. "Resto of CUDA in progress" by SSDEVO::DELMONICO (M_DelMonico "440's are forever") Wed Apr 03 1996 08:44

Back in dec of 93 I picked up a 72/3 340 CUDA to play with. It sat in the
garage until this February when I figured it was time to have fun. Engine
is at the machine shop, transmission to be dropped off at tranny place and
interior is completely gutted. Need to get car to car-wash and degrease the
engine bay, then it will be bead-blasted to accept new paint. This car is a
mystery to me. The vin, engine, trans numbers all match and state they are
1972 vintage. Fender tag, number stamped on radiator yoke say car is 1973.
During removel of interior, found build sheet under carpet which matches
vin. Go figure


Engine plans:
	340 bored .030 
	MP 9.0:1 cast pistons
	MP 761 cam [268/272 .450/.455 ]
	Edlebrock Performer manifold with ? carb
	windage tray
	Heads - bowl cleanup/blending and harden seats
	hi-volume oil pump


Car will be painted "metalic Garnet Red" and interior to come from Legendary



Will let you know how it turns out.

171.15MPH bumpers?SUBSYS::WOJDAKMon Apr 08 1996 09:418
       Does it have the 5MPH bumpers on it? These will have large "bumper
    pads" on them.If so, it is a '73.
