HI Guys, I just wanted to let you know about my three year project will be finished very soon and wanted to share some of pictures with you.
I bought my car out of California in 2009 and had it shipped home.I drove it for a year and tinkered with it a little but wasnt happy with it. I thought I'd like to have a different heart in her so I tore it apart and did a driver resto on it. I put disk power brakes on it, dragged out the four speed to find a gaping hole in the floor! then fixed that and put a tremec five speed in for fuel economy on the highway...HA! Silly me thought it would be nice to have a stroke motor it in place of the 383 that was in there before.Well I ended up putting in a World aluminiun block stoked to 572 with Super victor heads and intake, TTi stepped headers, custom grind Comp cam, custom flat top pistons and 10:1 CR to run on pump gas. I asked my builder to give me 600 Hp and he said sure that will be easy. six months later I went to pick it up and they dynoed the motor out at 750 hp at 5500 rpm!!! OMG!!!! So now I had to put in a fuel cell and run new sewer lines to feed the beast!!! Oh well I cant complain I guess until I have to put fuel in at every gas station I pass!
Well enough of my lousy writing for now but her's some picks for ya....
