Custom Paint

In 1984 Ray Paseka, then of Rainbow Autobody in Bridgeview, Illinois, did the paintwork freehand using custom candies and pearls in whites, yellows, oranges, and reds. They were applied over the factory Mayan Red paint after it was scuffed. Ron proudly notes that there has never been any other bodywork done to his T/A.

Engine

Estimated 580 Hp circa 485 RWP 565 torque.

Jeff Chelepis MD (Motor Doctor) at Hypercision bored the original T/A 400 engine to 4.155 inches and stroked it via an Eagle forged 4.25-inch crank to 461 cubes. Eagle forged 6.800-inch rods are pinned to JE forged flat-top pistons wrapped in Speed-Pro rings. A Melling high-volume pump and stock pan comprise the oiling system.

A Comp Cams hydraulic roller with 224/230 degrees duration at 0.050 provides 0.502/0.510 lift, has a 110- degree LSA, and was installed 2-degrees advanced. A set of round-port E-heads feature 2.11/1.66 valves and 87cc chambers. Crane 1.50-ratio aluminum roller rockers, Manley pushrods, and Edelbrock valvesprings with 10-degree retainers and locks make up the valvetrain.

A 750 Holley carb and Edelbrock Performer RPM intake deliver the air and fuel to the cylinders, and an MSD Pro-Billet distributor, 6AL ignition control, coil, and wire set send the spark to Champion Copper Plus plugs. Custom 1.875-inch headers and a full ceramic-coated exhaust with a 2.5-inch H-pipe, Flowmaster 40-series mufflers, and OE-style tailpipes and tips provide a throaty tone.

Since Ron doesn’t take extended highway trips with the T/A, he decided to forgo an overdrive transmission and simply beef up the original Turbo 350. TCI provided the shift kit, flexplate, and 2,800-rpm stall converter. The GM 10-bolt, housing 3.23 gears and Safe-T-Track, remains out back.

Very unique car, will turn heads everywhere.
