Im not only a Honda d-series guy im an ol' school ford man this is where my love for cars started. Bought this car a 1971 ford SCJ back 1985 just out of high school drove it for 5 years then put it in storage. Fully restored mostly by me and a buddy done in 1999. Car has most all factory options. my civic is my weekend car this is my retirement :D:D

spec's? i always wanted to build a pushrod V8, i originally got into cars from hanging out with muscle car guys, but mom/dad decided what my first car was going to be which was a 1992 4 door civic, this was in 1999. I know its cliche but i wanna do a 65 mustang one day...
 
Nice, ive always admired the sound and pure torque that comes with driving a nice V8. Looks clean! What kind of power does it make?
