63 belair ls conversion,supercharged!
928 motorsports compressor wheel upgrade just put in some new bearings a new belt and a new compressor wheel by 928 motorsports claims 20%more boost install went great also modified the case to let some cooling air in and the heat out of the case.could only get 4.5# of boost before hope to get some boost #s after this weekend.seems to feel good but still having tranny problems. I will post up picts soon.with any luck we can throw it on the dyno at the car craft nationals.
powerdyne rebuild and upgrade just finaly got back on the belair bought the new impeller from 928 motorsports hopfully it does what they claim it does. the claims are 20% more boost. the charger was only putting out 4.5 # of boost . I decided to make some mods to the case so I drilled 1/2 holes to give it some airflow through the case and to let the heat out. hopefully this new upgraded belt will not blow out again anytime soon.hoping to have the car on the dyno next weekend to see any improvments.

. holly cr@p were does the time go. trying to get this build back on track. I have a couple of updates since my last post. brought the car to the dyno and still having problems making boost. put down 400 to the rear wheels again with 6# dropping off to 5# I don,t know if the operators just were holding back because it was at 5000 rpms. for peak hp.just feels good to get it back on the road. decided to get a few other things done like remodel my house and shop. and just keep driving the car for a while.
here is a link to some of this building and remodeling and you will see why it is taking so long.

took a little break on the shop and decided to get more done on the car. built a trailer hitch to pull the pop up camper with.here is some picts. of that.
the hitch is completely hidden when not in use.license plate is hinged for access to receiver.

here is what the hitch looked like before putting the trim on to hide everything.
put the hitch on to tow the camper trailer up to Brainerd to run in the power cruise.the goal was to go and road race it pulling the camper up with it.drag race and pull the camper home. some things happened others did not.
also put some more comfortable seats in the back so the kids could be a little happier in the back.

thanks for the interest more coming soon.
The whole idea of letting people signing it was for people to give input on what they would do to the car if money was unlimited and they wanted to make the coolest car in the world. feel free to add suggestions of what you would do with the car.

after mocking up the motor and tranny about a dozen times I machined a set of custom adapter mounts to accept a set of off the shelf poly motor mounts for a sm. block chev.and decided the motor needed to be lower.swapped out the truck pan for a f body pan,pickup and windage. started looking at the front drive acc.set up and after deciding that the motor is really ugly with the truck intake. I picked up a ls6 intake then found out the front drive set up for the truck was not going to work.ended up with a corvette front drive system.I custom made the brackes for the a/c comp.
ended up taking about two and a half inches out of the crossmember to drop the motor down far enough.
decided at this point to make the car stear and handle better so stumled on a rack and pinion that steered from the center. ha this was just what the doctor ordered.

the rack is out of a 99 dodge intrepid the rack is a center steer i found this by accident and it works perfect just made a different center cradle for it and cut the end mounts off and made my own tie rods for it.not a bolt in but it works.
Ok it is official I have gone mad going to the dark side of way more power
GOING TWIN TURBO!!!!!!!! pulled the supercharger off and started planning the install and figuring out how to pull this off. A single is not a option because of the stupid x frame and no were to run a cross pipe and being as the car is so low it is going to be a challenge but I am willing to take the risk. looking to go for 600 to 700 to the rear wheels or maybe more.
and so it begins. I promise to keep you guys involved with this build you can either watch me fail or triumph. it could go either way.
