Hi guys,
after selling my Ray Barton Hemi, i plan to build up a nice and streetable BB car.
this picture shows how it looks before:
and after:
all of the rest, except the 12x15 rear wheels,the shifter and the 727 full manual will stay. The car is in very good shape,no rust issues and built very tough.
some impressions:
i`ve already found the parts that i need to get the column shifter rework. I don`t want to install any aftermarket floor shifters. They look poor.
a buddy will build a nice driveable 727 with a 11" torque converter with about 2400-2600 stall.
i can use my old drive shaft and the very stiffy Dana 60 in the rear! so no modifications:
wheels will change from 12x15 into 10x15 with extension plates.
interior and cage will stay as is.
trunk will stay as is, except the fuel pump-i will run a mechanical one.
shifter is disassembled right now. trans will follow within the next 2 or 3 weeks. the engine is planned right now. complete new 440 bored 0.30 over. for this engine i am looking for a nice crossram intake. could be from A&A,MP etc. good used condition. New ones are so expensive ;-)
more infos will follow...
