Default '85 Monte SS Twin ON3 70's

Here's my little project. I drug it home as a roller last summer. It sat outside all winter as I gathered parts. I rolled it inside around the first of March.
As it sits now it's running and driving but, I haven't taken it to the track or dyno yet.
To start, I guess I'll upload the pics and a description.


Bringing the roller home.


the 85 in all the gory glory. pealing paint but, rust free and pretty straight.


the LC9 5.3


the LC9 hooked to a Bradco tH400 rmvb- tbrake

IT"S IN THE HOLE!

I'm wanting around 1000 flywheel. There is a wicked 69 chevelle on here with a setup close to mine. I think he made around that figure. Thanks Man.

Looks good man. What did you do for the front bumper for paint prep? Anything different since it's poly urethane?

I took it all the way down, finished it in 1000. Then washed it with Dawn dish soap. then wax & grease remover. Adhesion promoter, then prime and paint as normal.
And Thanks man.


And I'd also like to thank everyone on here, I lurked for a long time, reading up and deciding how I wanted to do this. The people and this board are very helpful.

Damn! That's a wild looking setup you have. 4:10 gears though? Honestly man I love it. It's the box that can do it all, and does it well. The 3x has a bump box built in and the ability to run c02 powered gates. Once I get the tune nailed down in mine, that will be the next thing I have it control.

I like your manifold and turbo positioning, nicely laid out, looks like you've a lot of room in that engine bay
