I figured the 2x4bbl would have had an elongated air cleaner, in order to fit two carbs under.
Hard to remember my grandmother's now but it did have big dramatic script on the label.
Definitely a round air cover, & there's no reason they'd have gotten the 2x4bbl anyway.
The Wildcat 445 had this air cleaner cover, same one our '65 Wildcat had--the Wildcat 465 was the same style. This one looks as though it is using one of the reproduction stickers (I don't think any stock air cleaners ever looked this good except, maybe, the day they rolled out of the dealer lot
Sad thing is all of it came to an end in 1971 when GM went supernova with all of their cars. Ugh.
307's weren't that gutless. I had a 69 Malibu that was a 307/glide car when I bought it and it didn't go to bad but it didn't last long because of a soft cam. It would lite the back tire (only one) with no problems. Headers with dual exhaust and a quadrajet probably helped a lot. 307 was replaced with an L-79 327 and a T350. That helped it move down the road a lot.Drove a 455 GP SJ and it was a pretty fast car.I had a 73 or 74 lemans with the 350 and factory duals and she wasnt too bad either.1970 or 72 chevelle 2 door with the 307.I believe 225 slant six darts could smoke that gutless car.My first car was a 64 4 door chevelle with the 230 six and 2 speed powerglide.When I sold that car she had 175,000 miles on it.My first love
You are overlooking perhaps the best of all the F bodies, the lovely 1973 Firebird
PS check out Leno's 1000hp Toronado if you have never seen the build vid. I want....
Congrats...."It`s ALIVE !!!!"So, here is my car - really just dialing it in after a rebuild of the 455 and seven years of tinkering! This was shot Sunday.
