Bought an 85 TA, help me identify some things
Hi Guys, I traded my 01 gsxr 1000 bike for this trans am that someone restored and started turning into a drag car. I need help identifying the car, if you guys recognize if it was a member that is on here or seen on here before, its from NE Ohio, it is done pretty nice, no rust, repainted, I installed the 8 point cage after i bought it. Im trying to see if anyone on here recognizes the build if someone had a thread about it since its pretty involved to do whats been done so far. I have no other details other than its from a body shop up here in ohio that i think the owner or something restored it. The motor is what im wondering about, its a 1969 block from the code on it, the tranny is a T56 6 speed, its obviously built, but to what extent? It is cammed as you can see from the running video in the link, Im planning on putting a blow through setup on it with a large single turbo, so i need forged internals, low compression, 4 bolt mains, etc, etc. Just trying to dig for info until its warm out and i can pull a head and see the pistons, and pull the pan to see the mains and rods, etc. So anyone see anything thats not obvious thats nice to have? Good trade?
Another vid running, any guesses on compression ratio?:
