White top on a plum crazy is so much better than black top. Where are you located?

Thanks guys.. I've done SO much work to it since I bought it in October of 2019. Currently waiting on some new Goodrich TAs since my tires are from 2006. And fighting this awful engine imbalance/vibration as well. Suspect flywheel needs to be weighted due to (possibly) the original flywheel from the original 318 that the car came with stayed with the build when the new 440 was put in. Nailed down every other loose bolt and possible culprit, so this is all that's left. But what a pain in the ARSE getting it nailed down!

 

[Cuda Hunter]

at least you finally got it nailed down. That's a stunner or a car! Great looking!
Are you getting it taken care of just before the real driving season?

I would use Cooper Cobras over BFG junk personally
If the 318 flywheel was used & the 440 has a steel crank they would both use the same flywheel

Found one more pic. Will add more as I have time to go out and take them!

Looks great! But with all due respect, got to have the right shift boot. Jokin,
The factory style boot would bring it correct. Fantastic car friend.

aboard. Looks very nice.

Follow up on the engine vibration... FINALLY got it fixed by installing a new flywheel from 440 Source, coupled with a new, bolt-on weight from Brewers Performance... can't be happier, main vibration GONE! Now, all I've got to contend with is the normal vibrations/rattles that a 50-year old car is gonna have... Looking into a new tranny from Passon with overdrive.
