hey how ya doing, thought about going to 70's but
used to have them and got little to no traction. 60'
are required for a minimum. as far as pics i have got
quite a few. got them made cause i was looking to sell
(still am if the price was right)in order to start a new
project (had this one a longggggg time.drop me your email
and i can send you some of the pics if you like. as
far as the motor is concerned, what i haven't done
would be more like it. to start with it is not the
stock block. it is of the 81-83 turbo vintage, giving
much bigger intake and exhaust ports and a steel
crank, trw flat top forged pistons (10.81:1) with my
heads at 44cc, steel head gaskets, 625cfm carter comp
series carb, stainless swirl tipe valves, double valve
springs, high vol oil pump, edlebrock highrise intake,
very low profile kn power filter(to clear hood
unmodified), cam if i can remember(it been 5yrs since i built
it)approx 496 lift and 220dur at 5000rpm and 300 dur at
6000 it just fit, 3 core rad built custon stainless
shoud for fan, high voltage coil, total seal piston
rings, torque plated the block(using 350 buick torque
plate, imagine that) cc'd the heads and weighed all my
pistons prior to assemmbly to get the best match for
weight acrossed all cyl(to counter the roughness of the
buick platform), apr connecting rod bolts. open headers
and full 2 1/4" dual with red devils at the back ( a
little too noisey for my daughter so am going to change
as soon as it breaks. the only up grades i would
done from here would be to put in purple rods and
roller rockers instead of stock and a fluid damper and
an a mallory distributor. the motor is good to about
6500 rpm as it stands now but would be capable of
7500+ with the up grades. kids have slowed that
process. am running original 4 speed and rear end as well.
the car and motor are only good to 300 hp anyways. oh
yea have braced the engine compartment in six places
to take the stress. and had to tie the motor down.
can't find poly engine mounts around here for a v6, the
factory are only good to 120hp. believe me they tourque
when i come after it. got about 4500 in the motor and
about 14000 in the car at this point. got to go pick
the wife up take to ya later
