Looks nice, why did you punch it out .060? Was it that torn up?

I got the block from a friend who had it in storage and said that this was the bore I question I have is that would that make the motor more like a 355?

355 is a 350 0.030" over.

A 0.060" over 350 is more like 360 CID.

Re: 1991 GTA Project finally nearing the end!!

that would be nice when is it ziggy? Future mods that I'd like to do are electronic cutouts, but i'm still researching some brands. I also want to install my car audio system that I haven't been able to get together yet. Does anybody know of a good shop close to chicago that has a working dyno, I was looking at a place in addison called Street Stuff, but I think they closed.

Re: 1991 GTA Project finally nearing the end!!

yeah the Torque Thrust II's always look good. I think that the polished aluminum look really good, I think the chrome ones are too bright, but to each his own I guess I respect anyone who chooses to modify anything on their car, of course that depends. Yeah those wheels man just jumped out at me when I was looking. Although i've seen some 91's with some vet rims that really makes it stand out, but i'm happy with what I got.
