wrench_peddler Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 The first number shows they were made in June, the 6th month. The letter P shows they were made in 1976. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDR Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 wp Thanks. They dont look that old and they sure dont sound that old. Someone took good care of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdmarsiii Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Can you take some pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDR Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Yes but it will be tomarrow befor I post them, Im in for the night but I will take some pic's when I go out to the shop. I was real suprised when they got here and unwraped them. Who ever owned them took care not to bang them around because there was only one chip on the back at the top about 1/4 inch. I dont see any putty so being built in 76 they are in out standing shape. I have seen some on ebay that looked so beat up they would have had to pay me to take them.

EDR Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 If raw birch is unfineshed someone did stain these how ever they are in great shape. I know this looks bad sitting on the floor but I am getting the concrete poured shortly and the shop floor stays very dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDR Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Here is the other. I guess I need to get some old sheets to throw on them to keep the dust off. These point out the east overhead door. 10 acre's straight east of that is mom and dads place. When I crank them up and walk over to their house the sound bounces off the front of their house. They are a lot more loud then I thought they would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdmarsiii Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 They look good. Do you drag race? What kind of cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDR Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 I used to. Too short on funds right now. The one with the fatties on the back is a 70 cuda. It needs sanded down and painted. It used to be a beautiful car. Still would be with some paint on it. The other is a 70 duster. I want to fix it up for the street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdmarsiii Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Theyd be really nice with a 440 six pack, or a hemi, what do they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Those look more like Lacquered Birch models (LS BL)rather than Raw Birch (LS BR) models to me. They look like mine, not stained, just that the lacquer turned darker over the years. Anyway congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDR Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 Thanks, they might have darkend. If its stain its not a dark stain thats for sure. The stickers on the back say ls br. Did the br come with a clear coat? The duster has a stock 400 big block that I put in some years ago and the cuda after I get the block will be 550 cubic inches. I have a new steel stroker crank and a pair of B1 prostock heads for the cuda. My goal is low nines or high eights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 The LS BR's were unfinnished in every way as the name states Raw Birch. The previous owners must have put a coat of lacquer or something on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDR Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 That would be a quarter mile we are talking about and thats if the money thing gets a lot better then it is now. The hemi would be neat but double the price for the same horse power. I think I can get 900 hp out of these B1 heads pretty easy but I have to get a good block. The stock 440 block wont take to many passes with that kind of horse power in a 70 cuda and for what it would cost to get a stock block ready for the B1 heads I just as well go buy mopars race 440 block. For now getting a floor in my shop is top of the list. Seems like the cuda always gets put on the long list. I hope to see it on the short list one of these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
