Pulled the IROC out of storage last week and went out with some friends yesterday, snapped a bunch of photos, enjoy!

PS, shes back in the garage getting a new engine, transmission, rear end, and suspension

 

Car looks really good man. Not a big fan of the mudflaps, but, it's not my car. Why replacing the motor? Something wrong with the 383? Out of curiosity, how fast is/was she?

 

No, it has a 305/ 700r4 right now, i have a 383 which spit out approx. 550hp on the dyno, and also the th400 going in her.. My old man wouldn't let me keep the IROC in our garage this year so i had to store it away from home, therefore all winter i just bought all kinds of parts and let them pile up, now its time to swap them all in

With the 305 i rattled off low 14's all day in the 1/4 @ 97mph

With the 383, mid to high 10s should be no problem all motor, 9's with a little kick *** gas

Oh ya, mud flaps were off the car then b4 i put it away i put them back on for some reason hehe, but they'll be commign off again soon

 

Sounds pretty damn mean bro. Can't wait to see the results. Good luck!

 

Thanks dude, i'm pretty excited about it, i'll keep everyone posted..

In the mean time, here's a few more pics..

 

 

Also a couple exhaust clips are on their way, just in the process of hosting them

 

Thanks for sharing. Car looks great.

 

What is this 383 made of to spit out 550hp???

 

early 70's '010' block w/ 4bolt mains (Studded & O-ringed)
Lunati 'Pro Mod' rotating assembly
Solid Roller Cam .621/.627 lift, 254/260 duration
Air Flow Research 210cc Heads, 100% CNC Ported, 2.08/1.60 valves
Victor Jr. intake
Mighty Demon 750cfm carb
between 10.5 and 10.8:1 compression (didn't check it exactly yet hehe)

I work at Jan-Cen Automotive, i'll be putting it on the engine dyno within the month.. Its expecting to put down at LEAST 550, but we're thinking it'll be closer to 600.. But i guess i'll let the numbers do the talking once i actually get it done.. And all thats not including the Nitrous. Personally if it just does 550, i'd be happy..

 

all i wanna know is who is the chick in the picture

 

that would be my girlfriend..

 

u lucky son of a gun

 

thanx, going on 2 years now and shes asking for the ring already ... but shes worth it

 

dude..is she picking her nose?

 

The colors of my car is pretty fun, it'll go from a pretty brite orange in the sun to almost a dark red in the overcast sky.. Here's some more pix..

 

No, she was just goofing around for the camera.. Shes got one of them sarcastic personalities.. Makes for a fun person to be around, OK now back onto my CAR!

 

 

Mike, car looks gorgeous as usual! Glad you decide to keep it! Hope to see it out in a couple months

 

Ya i hope to be out in a couple months! So much work to do and so little time!! Y didn't u stop me and say hi when u saw me at Wendy's! Oh well, next time..

 

It looked like you were getting a rather large work order, I didnt wanna bug ya. I was with Dan, he waved but you didn't see him. We are always at Teds and Wendys, I am sure we will meet again-lol

 

shes hot, and the car looks very good. but a 500 hp motor can not be in a vehicle with mudflaps

 

Ya i always get stuck fetching lunch for the guyz at the shop.. Not so bad on the nice days when i can take the camaro out though

Ya i much have missed Dans wave, now that u say u were with him i did recognize him in the corner, i just havn't seen him in a while so i forgot who it was.. sorry guyz..

Thanks for the compliments.. about the can and my girly..

 

Well at least she picked a winner with your car.

 

Car looks great.. how are those exhaust clips coming? what exhaust do you have btw?

 

Right now i am running hedman shorties & ypipe w/ a Borla exhaust, it sounds really pissed off.. However i have Jet-Hot Hooker LT's, with a Mufflex ypipe and 4" catback on the way. I had to upgrade to handle the power i will be putting out..

Anyone know of any free video hosting? My source for hosting the video didn't come through, well he did but the Download was extremely slow, can anyone help?

 

Sweet!

 

Very nice car! Sounds like it will be one mean set up. Definately get video with the new power plant in there.
Did you buy your girl that DB purse? Well if it is DB, my sister has one and damn are they ever expensive

 

Thanks for the complements! LOL ya i bougth her like 4 of them so far, everyweek she finds a new color or new design and wants it, so i keep her happy Afterall she puts up with my bad habit hehe..

I have a bunch of pix, and i will continue to take them, i'll be posting alot of "progress" pictures, so keep an eye out!

 

Can't wait to see the car finished man. Sounds awesome on the combo. Check mine out in sig. Just started. Not much of a challenge for you, but you can't beat 'em all.

 

No actually it sounds like u got an awesome setup going.. thats actually the route i shoulda taken but instead i went ***** out and now i gotta basically build the entire car.. I wish i woulda did it in smaller steps, but oh well, when its done it'll be Hell on Wheels
