This is the forth that Ken has owned in his life.(not all at once) Originally a 390 with automatic now has a 401 with a 5-speed Richmond trans.

He likes the "beefed up " version. he tried not to chop it up too much as it still has the dash but replaced all instruments with AUTO Meters. It has a 10 point roll cage.

H.L. Shahan built this car(engine). He has a shop in CA. It has a removeable crossmember so that the oil pan can be dropped without removing the engine.

He wanted to put this on all of the 53 SSAMX's but ran out of time and only a few had this removable crossmember.
