Well.. we did it. Got the good ol' TA up and running again. Took out the stock 305 and stuck a chevy 355 with a TH350 in it as well as some other goodies (headers, shift kit, etc etc)

Here's a picture of it a few days ago when I got it back home.



And here is a video of it never going over 3000 with open headers

Enjoy.

BTW, thanks to Dan from SNMA from all his incredible help on this project and Danny (JR) from letting us use his garage. Thanks to everyone in here for all the help

 

good job all ready for paint now i hope? are they knockoff craigers the outter part of the rim looks funky

 

Its down right perty...........enough hick for now

It looks cool like that
You need to drive it out and race a few guys before paint
You know, Just to screw with them

 

what size are those rims ?

 

they are actual cragar rims... i had my eye on those for a while and finally they went up for sale so i snatched them up

 

funny you should say that... it seems that whenever i have it parked on the drive way someone always seem to think it's a slow POS beater, for example, just the other day some punk in a white firebird drove by and reved his v6 at me, he sat 2 houses away so i fired up the 355 with open headers lol.... he has been driving a lot nicer around my house since then cant wait to get it painted though...

 

they are 17's all around, running 275/40/17 Eagle F1's on the back and 245/40/17 Michellins in the front, not sure how much i'm gonna stick but we will find out once i get my torque arm back on....

 

thats why they look weird i guess since i got 15s same rims they look differnt i thought bigger craigers looked more stretched they look normal their i dunno

 

yeah they basically use the inner 15 and stick a 17" trim around them, i have always liked cragars but like bigger rims, so i looked and looked and finally found these
