finally got the dash and a/c,heater, and blower motor out of car. got the 10 bolt rear end mocked up for tub clearance, got tranny back from builder, motor still at machine shop, and car is gutted. ready to mount fuel system, and started installing the dash shell, switch board, and MSD box last night. will take pics as i proceed with new build.

 

Why a 10 bolt????

 

It's so sad to hear about/see these cars being distroyed. But I do understand going fast. I just wish it were to something that was a little less rare and more mass produced...like an F-body.....

 

i pretty much got it for free. So it was kinda hard to pass up. Came out of a chevelle race car but the only thing i will change is the gear to a 4.11 and the drum brakes to disc. Other then that its good.

 

yeah it looks bad right now but it will still look stock except for the carbed motor adn wheel tubs in the back seat area. So it will be ok.

 

thats pretty sick... I will be do a sra conversion after I drop my 408 in with 20psi.

 

just noticed that you live in baytown, I go there at least once a month. One of my employees lives off Garth. We should meet up I would love to see your sra.

 

Sounds sweet. Post pics!

 

im doing a sra swap also but using a strange 12 bolt. i would like to see some pics of your build

 

I like the wheel and tire combo in your sig, wish I would have done that instead of my bling 18's.

 

OK I WILL TAKE SOME PICS TONIGHT AT THE SHOP. I SHOUDL BE GETTING MY MOTOR BACK FROM MACHINE SHOP MONDAY SO THAT I CAN START BUILDING MOTOR. BUT YES GUYS I WILL GET PICS UP SOON ASAP. MY MOTOR SPECS ARE AS FOLLOWED::

THE MOTOR IS A 350 4-BOLT MAIN ALL STUDDED MOTOR DESTROKED TO A 331 WITH A 327 FORGED CRANK, ALUM. RODS, 12.1 COMPRESSION JE PISTONS, EDELBROCK VICTOR JR. HEADS(2.08/1.60) WITH PORT MATCHED VICTOR JR INTAKE, 1.5 ALUM. ROLLER ROCKERS, CHROMOLY PUSHRODS, COMP CAM ROLLER LIFTERS, CUSTOM GRIND NITROUS CAM, PETE JACKSON NOISEY GEAR DRIVE, MALLORY UNILITE DIST., C&S HOLLEY 750 DOUBLE PUMPER, AND A 350 SHOT PLATE KIT. THE MOTOR SHOULD TURN 8000-8500 RPM's. SHOULD BE NASTY ON MOTOR AND CRAZY NASTY ON SPRAY.

 

pretty interesting engine build there.....you might want more gear? 4.56 or somewhere.

Sounds fun....I'd like to hear some vids of it revving to the moon. Assume you running solid roller ?

 

I agree man.

 

Well pistons are on order and the block is going .060 over instead so a lil bit more cu. In. Wont hurt.

And yes it will be a solid roller cam

 

i still don't see why you would put a 10 bolt in it. if you are looking to go very much faster you will need a 12 bolt or a 9" anyway. it is just the way i think do it once and do it right

 

The 8.5 10 bolt is just as strong as the 12 bolt. But yes the best would be the 9 inch.

 

hows it coming along?

 

well now i am buying my buddys 406 stroker motor for now and slowly build my 331. I gotta get my car going and this is the fastest way to do it. So my 331 build has been put on hold for now. The 406 stroker is built for spray so well see how it does. We are taken the s-10 its in to track tomorrow to see what it does on motor. Then in a couple of weeks we are yanking motor out to transplant it in my goat. So well see

 

i got the dash shell back in place and my 10 pt chromoly cage should be here monday and the back floor and truck has been cut out and getting it ready for aluminum and tubs.

 

Damn man that's crazy... But its diffently going to be mean. Good luck!!!
