Wow that sounds scary. Sounds like diesel psi. I was also thinking about spraying my engine bay but since its my every day driver everything gets dirty in a week or less. So I just scrub it down and hose off the dirt in the engine bay. You have a nice sleeper. bet it handles nice to!

yeah mine was a daily driver for a long time till i beat the snot out of the 305 and ALMOST lost to a FWD cav lol thats when i built this motor and its lasted 15 years but now i want something a lil wilder oh yeah this car sticks like glue to the road

Sexy sexy car man. I really like your choice of color matching the cage and the belts. Just the right amount of color coding in there. And everything matches great!

What is the actual color of the car? Im hoping to repaint my TA soon as the clear is waving bye byes. Its the Dark Sapphire Blue Metallic. I really like my color in the sun, but in the shade it really just looses that deep blue look. I really like the color you have going there...Not sure Ide go that light, but still curious which blue it is.

Great work!

J.

thanks man LOVE my color the paint guy took it off my paint codes for the car not sure if he added something into it or not but he;s no longer in business but it was close to the same color on 86 cars

Wow 15 years! You must be a good engine builder. Its always a sad day when a cav beats out on a 305. But hey its always a motivator when something like that happens to buy or build something better!! I just blew my 305 in May with 109k miles on it. Not very much for a 305 but I am sure everyone before me had there fair share of fun.

From what it looks like in your under shots you have new lower control arms in the rear. Did you notice a big difference with them and the new panhard rod?

yeah i've owned this since like 91 -92 i beat the SNOT ouuta that 305 it ran fine just tired this motor i put in was a stock corvette motor no internal mods all bolt on stuff i don't drive it to often everyone wants to race and i cant stand that lol but aftermarket LCA nad panhard really tighten the car up that's all hotchkis stuff

Sounds like the corvette motors are really good.
"Hey man ya wanna race?!" I had somebody in a jeep cherokee say that to me. lol

Thanks for the response on the suspension.

anytime that's what we are all here for

Mmm ultra 40 wires. Sounds great! Is that exhaust you plan on running? Just kidding. I like the blue painted block.

yeah those wires are HUGE lol i WISH i could run tha exhaust lol yeah i painted the block and roll cage from the same spray can looks awesome IMO thanks man i just ran that on the stand to break it in i'm running F I on this motor

Looks like a beast, niiiice job

sickness thanks man

Wow 5600 rpm drop, my engine is only rated to 5500 rpm... I live an hour and ten from Lebanon valley in southeast. Haven't been there much lately though. It got flooded under a couple feet of water I know last year. google has some images of it. I was shocked.

yeah i remeber that those were some wicked pics they had i'm 2 hours from there and my cars power is 4250 but it likes to leave at 5600 lol if ya want i'm goin in a couple weeks again if you liked to see it in person

did an ls1 front brake swap recently cars pulls to one side a little i'll figure that out but i have shoulder surgery so it'll have to wait but here';s a pic all done

Thanks for the invite. I have been wanting to get to lebanon Valley but the only problem is I have been very sick for a long time now.... The brake setup looks awesome behind your wheels. Hope all goes well with your shoulder.

what are you planning to do to the old paxton setup, because I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands if you wont be using it

i need to get my new setup in first then i'll decide if i wanna part it or sell the whole setup together it'll be awhile i'm still collecting parts for the new set up

added a new polished canton overflow

car looks sick. nice almost wheelstand.

thanks man car weights 3980 with me in it my new motor will make the front wheels see air lol

Any new numbers with a bigger engine and more boost?

Nice car looks like you put alot of work into it is it as fun as it looks

not at the moment waiting for some brackets to come in to mount the F1 to my motor this spring i'm hoping for the install just takes alot of time and it SUCKS lol

iroc it is as fun as it looks had this car along time and took me just as long to get into this shape thanks man

Nice car.....great colour.

project thanks man

Sexy car, all these fast SBC builds are starting to make me second guess my LSX plans.

rubber LSX you can make alot more power that way compared with a SBC but to each is own i'm still putting together my procharger combo right now for the other motor that should be done this spring i hope tough when you don't have time
