Hey make some more stories i miss those. they where great

 

Hey man I have been working like 60 hours a week here lately.to be honest I am on some medicine.I can't write whenever I take them.And I if I don't take them...Well I would rather just take them then go through that crap again.

As far as my car I have been researching alot of combo's for the motor.I am going to go with a fairly mild 355 at first.Set the chassis and the rest of the car up to go faster than the what first motor will be able to.I have never really drag raced before.I have street raced hundreds of times.But never really drag raced.Also the fastest car I have ever drove would be a new grand am GT.So I am not really used to alot of HP either.So I don't want to build a 500 horse 383 and not be able to drive the thing.

 

if u like high rpms u should stay with your motor put a 4.88 cog in the rear with some 26in tires maybe 12-14 inch wide and you will smoke all of the line

 

No I won't be using 4.88's.Maybe in the 1/8th but not the 1/4.I will be running 4.11's with a 26 inch tall tire.3500 stall convertor through a th350.The motor will have forged internals and the good stuff.Just nothing to crazy.The tires will be 10.5's.

 

forged steel or aluminum

 

Steel crank,Steel 6.0 rods,forged pistons,4 bolt main block bored .030.Not sure on the cam yet.vortec heads,Airgap intake,Holley carb,1.6 ratio rockers.Etc etc.I will have to call comp cams to tell them the specs on my engine and car.Like power brakes,compression ratio,rearend gears,weight,tire height.Basicly everything about the car.That way they can select the proper cam.There is not guess work.They also know the correct length pushrods,What lifters for the cam etc etc.

The Rear end will be a 10 bolt.Drum brakes,With richmond gears,C-clip e-elimintators,maybe a spool not sure on that yet either.I plan on a 9 inch one day but that will be when I back halve the car.Not yet.

The suspension will be A sphon th350 torque arm,LCA relocating brackets,LCA's.Stock springs and lakewood 50/50 shocks.The front end will be moroso drag springs,Lakewood 90/10 struts new bushings and brakes.




The car will also have SFC's.And a roll bar.Fuel cell,battery relocated to the rear.The interior is gutted besides driver seat,centerconsole.The insturment panel is custom made out of aluminum as is the A/C and radio Delete plate.That is where the gauges will go.The carpet and the plastic around the rear wheel wells is still there also.


I am hoping to run 12's n/a.

 

sounds like a very nice setup what kind of pistons.

 

My car has been down for a bit, but should be back today :rockon: :rockon:

 

what happened to your car

 

TRW forged.


Fly sound like you got a nice car there.Glad to hear she is running again.I hope to take mine to the track next summer.So I still got a good wait yet.

 

The oil filter housing ended up cracking, and finding a TTA replacement one is damn near impossible, and a GN one won't work SO I had to shell out some $$ for a filter relocation kit

 

well that just blows

 

yeah it does, but what can you do? **** happens..
