It’s been running since the Fourth of July. Got a few trim pieces to attach and some details to work out but it runs pretty good. I haven’t hit the nitrous button yet. No seatbelts, and it hasn’t been aligned yet.
Nope, my dad did it. All the custom stuff he did like the interior trunk hinges, removing that bulge in the quarter panels, etc is stuff he did over the last 30 years!
The rear wheel mod should have been factory in the first place IMHO. I think the blue tape is to check ride height and was used as a reference.
The car seems pretty fast but haven't gotten on it yet. The front end needs alignment and there aren't any seatbelts.
Here is the car running. Oil pressure 78 psi warm idle, the nitrous tank and custom gas tank filler. The front end was raised 2.5 inches. Last is getting the front grill etc on.
Today is the day we start the engine swap. The engine that is currently in the car is a mildly warmed-over 360. The engine on the chain is a 030 over 360 with a stroker crank, roller cam, Edelbrock ported heads. The engine coming out will end up in my truck, seen in the last 2 pics. I had to do...
I'm looking for a street/strip roller cam for a LA stroker 408 build. They seem to be in short supply out there! I'm located in Rapid City, South Dakota
