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.

LOTS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THIS POST SO READ ON IF YOU WANNA KNOW.

















Ill update as things go!

With some more juice I think your right but would require a DP system. I still have alot of weight to pull. Car still has airbags, stock brakes, front speakers bumper supports etc.

RMVB FTW! driving with one was almost enough to make me consider swapping out the t56.

Looking good!

Glad to see you have all the chassis mods done before you decided to dive in to the motor. I think I'm going to work on some suspension parts before I even do a cam swap this time around.

Keep up the good work, you should have no trouble hitting your goals.
