Looks great!! Congrats. I agree with 58 though... This one deserves a restoration.

We cc'd the chambers and found the compression to be 7.74:1. That's not gonna work!

Gee, Carlito, you're not letting any weeds grow under that Monaco. Great work, and as a real CHP car, it has the potential to be one of the most correct Bluesmobile replicas ever built. Is that a Ford starter solenoid on the left inner fender?

The front seat reupholstered with NOS 1975 fabric (the closest I could find to original at the time).

Christmas came early last year, in the form of a hot cam and taller Keith Black pistons. We would realize our target compression right on the money - 9.9:1 We wanted to build the engine Chrysler wished they could under the choking OPEC cloud of 1974. 1970 440 Magnum numbers were the template.
