Ok ill answer my own question my son in the pic comes in today and says, dad i know what it is, its a wildcat II. I said how you know that? he tells me its outside right on the glove box. LOL... right in front of my face, i never paid attention to what was writen on the glove box. and if you look hard at the pics you can see the writing on the glove box.

Re: 1978 Winner ????

yes it is a wildcat. basicly the same as recoil's.
would highly recomend fitting it with the v8 chevy lump 5.7l
look's like you already have the alpha 1 leg.
