Default New from KY

I've been lurking a while and learning little by little and buying parts so I figured I might as well join. Looking forward to sharing my build of a 52 chevy 2 door (old school look new school power) with lq4/lsa heads with ls3 valves/4l80e/3.73 limited slip ford 8.8 rear with nascar trailing arm rear suspension and Mustang II lowered front suspension.

My neighbor has a 468 big block 55 chevy with a Thumpr cam and his car gets 5-6mpg. My goal is similar power with a car that I can actually drive and not haul on a trailer!

I'll need your help!

I just realized where you were at. It's good to know there are some tuning experts nearby. I'm about 100 miles from you.
