Above and beyond that, it is outfitted and upgraded with with some 406/405HP G-code goodies! Much like a G-code 406 this XL 500 has a 6V Triple Holley 3×2 induction (tripower) and cast iron 406FE headers. This car runs and sounds like a true HIPO car. The 390 barks through its cast iron headers & dual exhaust and sounds amazing! Shifting gears is a dream with the smooth shifting tough Borg-Warnder T-10 4-speed.
