    I'm sure it was a steal of a deal. I got my 70 Grabber last year for a $100.00....Pictures are in a thread, somewhere in here. Nice looking Grabber you got there.....

    I am buying the car from my sister best friends husband who is a mechanic and he told me the engine was sent to summit for the 347 conversion so I think... i can trust the guy. anyways i will open it up soon to make shure.

    not sure i could be wrong if your talking summit raceing the ones that sale parts for the 347 conversion i would think they are wrong summit and jegs got out of engine work years ago like in the early 80s...... from the looks of that engine it did come out of a newer car it may be like a H.O 5.0..good looking body sharp car (y)
