Changes/Mods to your car or truck over the winter

[PaxtonShelby]

Your Vettes are really sweet fellas. I can't wait until SCS becomes Steel City Muscle!! Wouldn't that be cool?? I like / respect just about any car as long as the owner isn't a D-bag.

I've got a sweet new 438 sbf & a Liberty Gear LSC 5100 for my
86 roller. Now I'm asking Santa for a F2 Procharger. I think it's
more likely I'll get a lump of coal.

what is the plan for #2? depending on how that it answered ;) what is the goal for the new combo?? Want to race to 10.50's or 9.99 or what??? Help me with turbo sizing :) :) :)

TKO600, faceplated, 5th removed
10.50 is actually what I am aiming for. Like to try some Index racing.

John, your Vette sounds amazing! Can't believe I haven't seen it around.

Are these the same heads I had listed on here?

Did fox lake spec the cam? What are they?

Never heard of Hemphill....I assume local place?

Sounds like a stump puller!

No, They were the heads I had for sale here.
Bullet specd the cam. solid roller duration @ .050 = 274/280
lift = .722/.722
lobe separation = 112

Hemphill in in Clarksburg, Pa. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hemph...54084908023442
Mostly being built with spare parts that I had laying around. Looking for 1.5 hp per cubic inch. It's gonna be alittle nose heavy but so what. It should make for a fun little street / strip car.

Nah, Not many of us old school guys left. Nothing sexy. no turbos or blowers. Just good solid N/A numbers (and maybe a progressive 250 hit)....Shhhhh, Don't tell anyone... Remember, it's a big ol' hunk of iron headed slow crap... in a 2900# body... ;)
Here is a little man jewelry. Forged Eagle 6.800 rods and custom 4.400 bore 2618 Forged Diamond pistons.

If you want to check out the progress stop over the garage once a month or so.

Thanks Barry. I've seen you a couple times around guntown. I love how low that car sits. Makes some noise too.

[1320goat]

You've seen his car on the road? Lies! Haha just busting your chops Barry, we know you don't drive your car anymore

that pic is sexy without forced induction....

what crank did you go with?

Did you piece together your stroker kit and have it machined or buy a complete kit from a vendor?

Where those heads done by fox lake when you were selling them, or did you send them out after they didnt' sell?

I was considering them but I already have another set here that I did a few yrs back...

I have a 472" deal in parts in my garage...need to get crackin on it once my other house/remodeling projects slow down.

In fact I think I have enough parts to build three complete BBF's....two dove blocks and a C8...plus heads/intakes...etc...

[John4cam]

Lol goat. I think he was pushing it through town.

[1320goat]

I shouldn't talk, my gt500 is turning into a garage ornament. I was planning on a a few things this winter, I talked to Mike in the fall and he squeezed my car in his schedule before winter. VMP tvs, kb bap, and vmp twin 67 tb. I might throw some id725s or Id1000s. Stock 47s are maxed, car is making mid 600s right now

Do you have any running vids of the car? Sounds like a beast.

[1320goat]

I don't have any vids of the car in its current state. I only had it on the road twice on this setup. Your vette sounds meaner than my car

That's the truth lol

[Stangman701]

I'm thinking drag radials will be my only mod for next year. The Toyo R888's I have on there now look awesome and hook ok on the street, but they wouldn't hook for shit at the track. I'd like to at least be able to hook in 2nd gear on the street with drag radials but that might be a pipe dream

Other than that I'm just looking forward to having a car that runs for a change and putting some miles on it

[2000GT]

Mostly cosmetic stuff for me
- replace the chin spoiler (mine has a lot of curb rash)
- smoked fog lights
- new struts and shocks
- new tires
- UPR Rock Crusher shifter
- fix my leaking driver's side valve cover
