building new car
Been awhile for me. Sold the LS Monza. New car is 1976 Datsun 280. Bought an LS3 from Katech. Has forged Mahle flat tops,ARP head studs. Made 480 hp@ flywheel with stock cam. This is a used motor from a road race car.With the GM 525HP crate cam it made 550HP. Has leakdown between 8% to 26%. Plan is to freshen up and add a cam,dual springs with titanium retainers. New pushrods. Looking to try the new Holley dual four medium rise with two Holley 465 mech secondary carbs. A T56 from Liberty Gears with an aluminum flywheel and double disc clutch. Either a 9" Ford or 8.8 with 4.56 gears. Cutting the floor out and building a round tube chassis. Not sure about tire size yet. 275 or 325 MT ET street drag radial.
I hope to be around 2600lb.
Any thoughts?
Good to be back.
