hi. my name is Bruce. i'm old and cant spell. love e bodies though.  had a 69 charger for years and swapped it off for a 70 barracuda a few yrs back. I was on the charger site for years. I have a 70 gran coupe . black with a 383. 4 speed. not much body rot, but banged up a bit. I live in south Dakota but the car came from around bakersfield cal. interior shot. was white but I want black. no ac. when I tore the engine down, it had the old trw 12 to one pistons in it and a very small cam. tons of duration. don't know wtf they were trying to do with this combo, but its mine now. it has anson ground grabbers on it , but the front havlfs are cut off.  told you I cant spell. I was a member here, but its been so long I couldn't get in. couldn't remember passwords and stuff and didn't post much, so I started over.  hope to have a good time here.  Bruce

"WELCOME BACK" & cue John Sebastian

that Gran Coupe project was in Las Vegas for ~10 years - I sold him a pair of front fenders for it
           - black with the black vinyl top w/white interior & white body-side-moulding/pinstripes would look awesome  and it would be correct
                             IMO the '70 Gran Coupe vinyl interior is the best E-body interior Chrysler made!

the long duration cams were "cheater" cams to run in stock classes & would help that 12:1 breathe

@rtgreen I have a factory 383 4-speed 70 gran coupe as well! one of 341 produced. one of the best fetchers is the overhead consoles, and the most fun to make functional.

    Welcome back

traced the title back. went from by Bakersfield to a guy in san bernidino to northern Wisconsin to brainerd minn to me. cool to find out why that cam was in it.

just so we are on the same page - we are talking about BP23N0E108xxx  I should've purchased it!! 

here are a few pics of it in Las Vegas, it came here "intact" and left as a "basket case" for the Chicago area (I don't know who TITLED it/where or when)

    enjoy the site!

[rtgreen]

holy sh"t. you got to be kidding me. that's my car! how did you know? can you tell me more?  wow.

[rtgreen]

I have that counsole! did you put it back to factory?

Welcome to the site from Ontario,  and good luck with  your restoration. The other aspect to that cam is that with so much duration, the overlap bleeds off some of that 12:1 CR so that you don't have to go to the airport for gas. Enjoy!
