i'm starting this thread for a buddie that i was helping before i moved.
it started life as a lil s-10 with a 305 in it.


then in went a 396 from a old Nova


with that a backhalf was in order




he was set with that until.....
he wanted a 572 dart


room was needed, so was a new firewall


then the inside of the truck needed done


he had the idea of a "street" truck so he got some tires for when he rolls the street lol

he still has the slicks for the track tho

now he sits needing to tidy things up, the loose ends. but here is the truck in its state right now.

Damm,sick!!keep us posted on track times

 

are the rear tires really that far forward in the wheel wells?

looks pretty sick other then that!

 

times.... uncertain. he just wants to go fast.
i've always noticed that....how do u fix that?

 

that things ridiculous! is he gonna give it a clean paint job to keep the street appearance?

 

paint lol i dont know. i know that is FAR down his list...one of the last things. (i just hope the stickers go bye bye)

 

well, Happy thanksgiving everyone....goin home today for the holiday. gunna swing by his house and get some updates and future plans and then i'll have some updates on here! everyone b safe!

 

Is that going to get enough fuel with 800cfm? With 572cubes I'd imagine he would need at least a 1000.

 

X2


as far as the wheels being too far forward he might have done it to help hook, but you would fix it by moving the 4 ling back, or you could put longer bars on the 4 link, just make sure all the measurements are right.

 

well, talked to him over the Thanksgiving break....
The truck is at a speed shop down here gettin looked over for safty and street legal (even tho it has tags and a inspection sticker lol)
The guy goin over it has a 8 sec Transam and seems to b pretty knowledgable.
when he gets it back... time to take apart and paint and powdercoat and chrome things....
