Default started ripping my car apart

Ripped the whole interior out, carpet is out. heat controls, radio. Next will be heat.

Doing the tranny swap in 2 weeks. TH-400 going in. 4:10s going in. Drag wheels going on and weight reduction continues, power steering,cruise control, air bags, steering wheel, bumper supports, door bars are all coming out


Bought a lightweight seat today so everything should be coming together real soon. Need to weld in a cage, debating on 10 pt now or later

Goal is to be running close to 10.50 to run in the new Fast Street class at N.E.D. Still have to do heads, new cam, Fast 90/90, pulley, and EWP. And eventually a new 9" rear.... So should be a fun winter getting this SS ready to play come the new season


I am sure my tired motor is going to quit so I've already been looking at the Aluminum 402s, I really want to keep the weight down and be on all motor.

Yeah I'm going to max all my weight reduction and see how far this 346 can take me. I am pretty confident I can nail 10s at my race weight (hoping for 3000lbs)


402 will get the job done, but $4500 isnt on this years racing budget I'm hoping to get by with the 346 blowing smoke all the way down the track

I'm planning on being at about 3200 by spring so a slight detune will be in need, but at least I know I will be able to run the # when the track is **** and it's 100 degrees out.
