right now a 390 2bbl thats really tired. at the machine shop is a 428 thats going .030 over, will have Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, RPM Intake, Crane roller rocker shafts, errr, and a nice cam. i dont know what kind yet.
After that, its going to have a 460 with 8:1 Compression and that happy little T70 turbo i have posted elsewhere on here  . |
| Drivetrain: |
Fully built wide ratio C6 tranny courtesy of Pete Flores, has way too much to list in it, but among some are Alto Clutches, Billet R Code Servo, about a 3000 stall, B&M Supercooler, B&M Megashifter.
Has currently a 2.75 geared open 9 inch. i need to upgrade to 31 spline axels, and about a 3.50 geared track lok or a Detroit Locker. depends on what i come across first and what becomes the actual impulse buy lol. |
| Notes: |
Bought it off of a body shop that was going to be sold. it sat for 20 years there after being painted im assuming. was filthy, very rusty after all that time and had alot of moss on it. got it running, registered and it drives reasonably alright all things considered. its in the body work stage right now and looks like shit generally. but hey, it will be alright. |
