A-bodies.......Big motors
Thanks for asking!........Sorry guys.......I've been pretty busy........
Over the spring and summer I have designed and built my new K-frame(s), got the body in primer and rolling and took my A833 to Passion Performance to have the aluminum case installed.
I'm also building a special (column shift automatic) front suspension and an identical engine for a friend, Jim, in PA who also has one of the nicest dual-primer Hemi Darts around. Jim is building a Demon.
Right now I'm sitting here looking at 2 new World Products 426 Hemi aluminum blocks that arrived last week as Jim and I will be running all aluminum motors. I could have built 572's for the same money but I'm making them 426's on purpose, because that's what we want.
There is a possibility that I may entertain the idea of making a half dozen or so additional K-frames the next time the jigs are set up. These will accomodate virtually any engine.
Tuesday, brother Dave and I are heading to Mancini's (a 6 hour drive for me!) to pick up 2 sets of aluminum heads and a shopping list of odds and ends.
This car will be completely assembled and functional before being taken apart for final paint, plating and powder coating.....it's the only smart way to do it.
I'll attach a few pictures and within a couple of days I may have some more with the interior, grill, lights etc installed.
Remember when you look at the pics that the front tires are over 28" tall and the rears are 30". The front spindle centerline is forward 1" and the rear axle centerline is ahead 2". The wheel openings in the front fenders have been stretched forward 2" and the front of the rear quarter openings are moved ahead 3"........and the illusion is complete.
