Help me complete my build.
I did what you want to do. same motor but 12.5-1 428 resto with indy 360-1 heads. 700 roller. 456 742 clutch on street to keep 5500 converter against at 50 mph . This helps stop slip and overheat. 430 spool to race. 8 3/4 allows easy gear swap. track center has billet diff caps and g.m. style driveshaft clamps. I never broke it and have launched it pretty hard wheels up with this heavy car.
I used the factory tank because I wanted to keep it under the car so I could eliminate building a firewall behind the seat . All factory interior was left in the car. Left factory spare in the car because it was designed to hold the tank straps. Narrowed tank 3 inches. to allow factory exhaust and tips out back.
2 inch tubes to 3 1/2 exhaust dump in front of rear as close to housing as possible to prevent oiling the tires do to engine failure.
Did not put halo in or front tubes. A mistake , Broke into the 9's and the car will not certify.
Car is heavy with all factory interior and stereo.
This is a true driven street car with to much motor. It does not hook on the street with ss springs and snubber 29 14.5 Hoosier Quick time pros.
I tried to build this car without doing any thing to the body that cannot be returned to stock without painting it. I even put a push off kill switch in the tailight.
Fuel line is number 8 fragola starting at the tank.
Remote oil filter was added because you could not remove the filter after unscrewing it because of the Headers. so I also added a cooler.
GM one wire alternator mounted on factory power steering pump No wires on motor at all. only needed 8 inch wire to hook it up to bulk head.
MSD digital 6 allows me to run 93 on the street with its automatic 20 Degree retard. Only because it does not hook up. When it hooks you need 114 race fuel . You only need 114 when you load a high comp. motor. I also use a ignition kill switch to start it so it don't detonate.
I can blow these tires away at any speed even in 3rd when the power comes on.
If I had to do it over I would not have put this motor in a street car. as a matter a fact I would like to sell the car without the motor and trans and build a race car so I could use the motor for what it was built for. It does draw a crowd at cruises because of the Color, tires and the exhaust sound.
To hear the stereo the car has to be shut off
