I can't even imagine that sort of ride... My little street machine is quick, but nothing like that. Very nice times :thumb:

I gotta get you hooked up with my buddy from Omaha, tho he won't be running that fast either. :smt002

Nostalgia stuff is cool no matter how fast it is. A straight axle, flip front '57 is about as cool as they come. :thumb:

My latest...

Got it running and been driving it around. It is a Hugger Orange 1987 S10 Blazer with a few mods consisting of a bolt on fiberglass Harwood cowl hood, Eibach lowering kit, Lakewood traction bars, Heddman shorty headers with a 3 inch dual exhaust, Borla stainless mufflers and turndowns, 3:73's with a posi unit, a fresh turbo 350 with a hard shifting shift kit, a B&M Holeshot convertor, B&M ratchet shifter, a few custom interior touches such as an overhead console and a Grant steering wheel, Sony stereo system, and lastly the engine. It is a 1962 small journal 327 bored .030, stock polished rods, with L19 bolts, an .010/.010 steel crank, Cloyes double roller timing chain, a Comp Cams 268 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft. Up top is a set of 1969 441 300 horse 350 heads with 2.02/1.6 valves, an ancient Holley dual plane factory manifold, and a 600 Holley carb. It has a large aftermarket aluminum radiator that keeps the temps at 160 after a 25 mile cruise, and I used a 1989 Firebird serpentine belt set up for the accessories. The AC is functional...

Naw, not that soon. My trans is still down at ATO and we've not gotten the damage assement back from Jim yet. I'm focusing on Christmas and family holiday stuff at this point and probably won't be making noise until the end of January at the earliest. Man, I really miss that lump-lump sound... :cry:

I'm still planning on saddling up and coming down to SoCal - will just have to fit it in financially and schedule-wise. I missed my window in November and will have to look at it again in February or March, prolly.

Hello everyone. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Kenny I'm married 50 yrs.old and live in the Rowlett, Tx (dallas suburb). Great site by the way, lots of very knowledgeble people, I've already learned a lot just lurking in the background. As you have probably guessed my car is a '84 camaro z28 clone. I have only had it since August. I bought it from the builder, it's a fresh build only a little over 100 miles he put on it plus (12) 1/8 mile passes I put on it so far. He built it as a pro street car. My plan is to turn it in to a full race car and race it this spring. My best 1/8 mile pass so far is 7.75 @ 90.1 on street tires. Here are some specs on the motor as of now.... .030 over 454 block with 427 (6223) forged crank, forged h-beam rods, kb 10.5 to 1 pistons, thru a built th400 w/manual reverse valve body and a trans brake to 9" with 4.86 gears. The first night I took it to the track I was able to weigh it ...3300#s with out me, heavier than I had hoped. Here are some of the modifications I've made to the car since my initial test runs. Gutted the doors and installed lexAN windows Installed alum door panels. Removed the glass windshield and replaced with lexan. Removed the passenger seat to make room for a bottle. Installed the delay box, removed the factory harness and completly rewired using the painless switch box, used led lamps and a presure switch in the brake line for the tail lights. installed moroso front drag springs lakewood 90/10 and tubular a-arms. Added a new mallory 250gpm and canister for the carbs ran a new -8an. Was planning on using the existing holley blue for the nitrous big shot, installed a BG 2-port regulator on both the nitrous and the carbs, non bypass.
I used the bypass on the mallory 250 and returned it to the tank, the pump is in the back of the car, starting to rethink this, very open to opinions. Also I'am really leaning towards pulling the motor out so I can replace the k member with a tubular and a pinto rack, I really want to get as much weight off as possible. I think the sphon tubular k member I've been looking at has an option to have an upper strut mount which I wondering if that would allow me to get rid of my inner fender wells, that would free up alot of space very much needed in the engine bay as well as reducing weight. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'am going to post some pictures of where I'am at now...any and all opinions or critisism, tips or advise very much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
