I like them, but I prefer the '78 Super Coupes (not too wild about the rainbow like stripes though) and Kit Cars. Too bad they killed any performance with the Lean Burn system, but thankfully it can be removed.

Im lucky enough to have mine silver with black and white stripes. And is the base r/t 4 speed with no window louvers or rear spoiler.

Ive super coupe 15x8 rims which are fine, ive a b body 8 3/4 superstock spring and snubber which let me run the 275 50 comp ta drag radial tires and never rub.

My current engine dyno`ed at 430 hp as per a older mopar 360 buildup I copied but actually got 16more hp than there buildup. but now im shooting for 600-650 with a 40 over 73 360, al heads 11.8 comp aftermarket crank, h beam rods and a six pack intake. 600 seems possible

I have a Volare wagon, with some mods to the suspension. If you want info on using Dakota springs on your Aspen, I have it. I put dakota springs with similar load rating on my wagon, and no more sag. Along with other mods, it rides like a new car and handles great. If you have access to self-pull junk yards, it is a cheap way to go.

These are two good u tube vids, the first is the current motor I just sold and the second is a easy launch and short shifts.

The bell tronics says 0-60 in 3.9, that was the best out of about six tries, wheelspin is fun and looks good but kills me. High 11-s was the best but ive a low chip and since this motor is sold I will never know.

Since this post my motor has went nuts, ive all the parts here and just got my hellfire nos rings.

I ended up with a 73 360+40 block, internal balanced 410 steel crank, h rod, je reverse dome pistons, eddy 6077 heads with dual springs 430 open, beck solid lifters and the mopar 557 solid cam.

Pistons, valves and heads and ex ports have been coated as well as the rods and mains.

The best part is I found a hidden direct port nos six pack intake and bought it right, so the carbs are at quick fuel tech getting there best treatment as they know my motor specs.

At about 10.8 comp and 410 inch and the 4.00 stroke it should make my current motor look sad plus the 250 nos shot should be fun from time to time.

\This has cost me alot and just the nos deal with the extra fuel system, old school cheater jets (12.50 per jet) and all the ceramic coating has taxed me.

This car cant hook and will be insane with the next motor. Check out the vides, they are ok for my first ones.

Ive a nice set of 15x8 super coupe rims for sale, they are perfect and complete.
