my winter work finally!! ok so its been 4yrs since ive planned to do this and now i finally get to. this winter ill be removing the motor and trans. ill be rebuilding the motor as a forged 383 and set it up wit a big cam and 150-200 shot of gas. the trans is comin out wit it because itll be easier to put the new clutch and flywheel in.the heads im still up in the air about id lik to do a set of le3's but its not in the budget so im lookin at le2 or le1's but still not sure. my goal is for 425+hp on motor and about 550-600hp on the bottle. along with all this ill be gettin an s60 a driveshaft and depending on the times it lays down maybe a 6 point roll bar. ill keep updating this wit pictures and everything i already hav a few pics but just of the jegs wheels and hoosiers and the n20 kit.
