Default Another new guy

Hey all from North Alabama. After a 30 year wait, I finally jumped in last July and ordered a new Backdraft from Car Cafe in Miami. I gotta give props to all of you that have built your own but after building hot rods and Harley's in the past, I decided I wanted to drive right away.

So I got an Iconic 427w in a ruby red with black Majic stripes beauty. That's backed up by a Tremec 5 speed and 3.56 rear end.

The motor had a hell of a hit with a Holley and a . 600 lift Comp Cam but I just had to have an 8 stack set up. Either Webers or injection. I was talked into the ease of the new EFIs these days. I went with Inglese and a Fast ecu and distributor. I love it even though it took some hit away, it added about 5 mpg and so much more street able. Looking forward to many miles and lots more good info from CC.
