Default ACs single digit build thread!

So I figured Id put up my single digit goal build for this winter. Engine will be a 383 LT1 stock block, half fill, splayed mains, SRP forged pistons,Eagle H-beams, eagle forged crank(already at the machine shop) 12.9:1 compression with stock ported heads/ intake HR cam. Ill be using my Lloyd Elliott ported current heads/intake and a new LE custom cam for the 383. Short block built by Speedinc and tuned by Speedinc!!! FTW!!!!!

Trans fully built RMVB TH350 with JW bell with a NC 4000+ stall and B&M stealth pro ratchet shifter.

Car sits at 3500 with me in it now but ill be taking out some more weight.
Chassis is fully done until I need a cage or till the tracks kick me out. UMI K-member, upper and lower a-arms, Strange DA front shocks with 300# springs, BMR sub frame connectors, Wolfe 6point bar, UMI TA, UMI LCAs, UMI PHB, UMI LCA relocation brackets, UMI trans cross member, UMI drag bar, Madman AFCO rear Shocks, Stock rear springs with heater hose mod, Dana S60 rear end 35 spline axles and 4.10s.

Wheels are Dragstars with MT sportman fronts and 275-60-15 MT ET drag radials out back

Nitrous kit is a Nitrous Outlet LT1 specific plate kit, Stand alone fuel system, progressive contoller, NANO, MSD dig 6. With all the goodies.

Car will look exactly the same but have the TH350 and a 383 bottom end.
What do you guys think???
















Ill update as things go!

dang if there was ever an lt1 that looked so nice, id have to say its urs.
I like how it sits, and the radio delete panel looks sleek.
Did you paint it recently or is that just that thing vacuumed sealed? looks spotless, which is super nice for a racer because most racers go for power first, then looks come later when they have the money for it..
Cant wait to see her hit the singles
good luck!

Thanks! Its actually original paint and a real 96 Formula WS6 M6 hardtop with cloth car that I bought bone stock with 26K on it. I kinda feel bad but I knew the second I found my dream car what would happen to it. lol
Heres the 383 i got never ran b4. Then I I tore it down to build it the way I wanted.

I love the stance in the first pic. That wheel and tire combo look killer on your car. Do you happen to have any more profile shots of it?

Can't wait to see your results. I come from the caprice and impala community, so I love those LT1s!

When you get this thing all wrapped up we will have to meet up at the track (preferably Byron) so I can get some pics of it! Right after I'm done showing you what a fast red TA on 275's looks like
