Re: dash pad

81 and newer all got the same pad

i have one from lmc, i am really happy with it, it fit real good, and less expensive than others on the web. they come in black, so if you want another color you will have to dye or paint it

Re: dash pad

Re: dash pad

I was told this Project had a L-72 427 425HP, It did not.
It does have a 427 block and parts from various 427 motors. It will end up with a nice strong 454 in the end.
It has not been run for 20+ years
