Jim & Darla Brink's ’72 Trans-Bird
Don’t let its beauty fool you. Inside lurks a 455 punched 0.030-over to 462 ci with TRW 9.4:1 compression slugs, shot-peened rods, heads machined and ported by Jim Taylor, a Comp Cams bumpstick holding 0.485/0.485 lift and 225/230 duration at 0.050, and a fat 800-cfm Quadrajet. Expelling the fumes are 1-5/8-inch-primary Hooker headers blowing through mandrel-bent 2-1/2-inch pipes and DynoMax Super Turbos. Can you say 375 rear-wheel horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque?
