my buddy got a preran 67 polara for for free from someone, it will be his first car, hes building it at my shop with alot of my stuff THIS IS NOT MY CAR the car was ran in the early 90s from what we could tell, real old school build, half of the interior was still in it, car is straight tho other than the one back corner the day he picked it up i let him use the 400/727 from my 74 newport to put in it, he does not get to keep the headers they will be going on my car dropping the motor in Uploaded with ImageShack.uswe were able to keep the old Y frame mounts from the frame, and the mounts that were on the 74 400... this is our homeade mounts to connect them since they lined up close... real nice design for homeade the messed up back corner the first thing we did was take off that tin can bumper.... frame seams are welded A arms forward already, and car is now actually stripped minus the dash

yes it did... we actually ended up in the same heat together... it looks almost the same yet, he pulled my 400 out and plans to run it again this year with a 350 chevy under the hood.... he got out during out heat because his throttle linkage came undone, and in the consi he fried a switch.... the Y was left stock and we fabbed up some mounts and put an aluminum bumper from a 77 impala on the front... the Y never bent up or down but instead they both bent to the drivers side, one of the wierder things ive seen.... the plan is to straighten that and he wants to go out and kill it off
