360 Re-Ring? Temporary Engine. Will it run fer a year?

So, I am just going to do the re-ring with a bead hone and have the heads freshened up. Drop the RPM the the TQ on an adapter plate.

Regarding tires and such. Well she aint an inline car although I really want one of them too. This will be pro touring style and I hope to spank some euro sports cars, and hopped up ricers on some winding roads or the track. Maybe. Depends on how my machine does.

It is console shift car factory 360.
It will not be tubbed. Will optimize back spacing and run 18x9 wheels with 275 or 255 40s.
So, 8-3/4 2.94 SG with a 727, low stall tight converter and a balanced steel crank 440 with good rods, pistons, with ported Stealth heads, BB M1 intake, maybe throttle body FI.
I did not know the stealth heads were Chinese or I would have not bought them over a year ago.
But for the time being I have an 8- 3/4 3.55 SG rebuilt and the 360 to put in there to shake the suspension down. Soon as possible I want to get me a 2.94 SG.
Going to put in biggest T bars I can get, biggest sway bars front and rear, tubular A arms, have 11.75 discs and 11 x 3 drums. Ride rough and carve some curves. Want to appear as factory as possible in all aspects other than wheels which will probably be like the torque thrust look. Glass 6pk hood, glass bumpers, relocate batt, alum champ radiator.

What I dont have yet is T bars, Tubular A arms, Front Sway bar, wheels N tires. M1 intake, TBI. Bumpers, hood, radiator.

Substitutes I do actually have and will sub on a temporary hopefully short term basis : 17x8 forged factory cobra wheels, great condition thermoquad, factory hood, bumpers, new autozone radiator.

The remaining missing items I must have b4 driving it.

Here are a few pics of some under hood work. I soaked the piss out of every seam with epoxy from SPI after sandblasting the metal bare. Then epoxied all the panels. I used eastwood's inside frame spray tubes (rattle can with long tubes) and soaked the piss out of the inside of all inside boxes and frame rails after blowing sand out of them for hours on end. Seam sealed what needed with urethane and then painted the under belly and engine compartment.

Well I got alot of work to do and I want to get this sucker on the road this summer. Wow, I wonder if that will happen.

:rambo: Thanks for checkin out my thread!
