Default My new 10.5 Street/Strip car showed up today, Like it? PICTS!!!

OK, so its not ls1 based, but hey- i tried to get another ls1- but no one had one that i was looking for, nor would anyone deal.... so this is what i ended up getting..

Its a 84 z-28 car, built up basically from every corner.. There are a couple things that might get some attention later on, Hood, paint, etc.. but im very happy about the buy!! I mean.. really happy..

Just a couple things about the car:

9inch ford 35spline axles, 4.10 gear with aluminum case center section.
Torque arm by spohn with re-locater bracket
disc brakes.
Fuel plumed..
14pt cage
All stock interior- sorta still looks factory(thats what i like about it)
Hurst quarterstick
Drive shaft loops
Boxed subframe connectors
Autometer guages oil, temp, boost, tac, speedo.
Still has power windows, and a cd player..
Etc.. etc..

Motor:
364 cubic inch (started with a nickel block 1970 block..
Ross Pistions
Jessel RollerRockers
Knife Cut crank.. etc, etc, etc,, to much done to the motor to list..
CnC ported Brodex Track 1 aluminum heads
Brodex airgap type alum intake
C/S blowthrough carb
630 lift roller cam..
Vortech Supercharger.. 9pound (conservative)
Turbo 400 transmission w/ 4000 stall converter with kevlar blowproof bellhousing shield.

This car sounds so sick.. It has been ran in the 1/8 with times slips to show 6.40-6.50's at 108-112mph..
Its best 60 foot has been a 1.36..
With a F1 setup @ 20pounds - ran 5.67 in 1/8th...
Car is and should be a capable 9.50-9.90 car in the quarter with current supercharger setup.. ya.. gotta love 10.5 inch tire cars!!!

Let me know what you guys think.... made a smart move?
Its shows well next to my D1SC 01 procharged m6 - so ya guys wont hound me to bad with the 3rd gen...

Sounds like a good combo. I'll have to check out the pictures later because of these stupid work filters.

Nice car! You could always do an LSx conversion later on down the road (if you get bored with the current combo).

I love how it looks very stock on the outside (except for the wheel and tire setup).

Probably surprise the hell out of people.
