    1987 Cutlass Build

    Oh yes, it was a factory turbo engine. Plans in the future are a friend of mine is making a custom intake tube for it so i can run an intercooler and turn the boost up a bit. These engines ran 20:1 compression or higher so they didnt have as much boost as the Cummins or ford diesel engines do...

    Finally for the day I finally got the body in the garage, which was a big moment thinking that it's finally going back together. As you can see by the plate it's been sitting quite a while

    Next I installed the pushrods and shaft mounted rocker assembly. Keep in mind this is a 6.5 turbo diesel. Got some speedway motors solid engine mounts in for the mounting as soon as I'm ready

    Okay so quick update, made some progress with the cutlass. My boy helped and we got all the valves, valve seals, and valve springs installed. Then I installed the heads and torqued the bolts to spec

    1985 was a bad year for quality- Air Cleaner Washer

    Ill be sick if anything happens to my 04 Monte Carlo SS, its getting ready to hit 99,000 miles. Crossing my fingers itll keep going well over 200,000 because i just couldnt bring myself to buy much of anything the big 3 makes anymore.

    Craftsman hand tools coming back to USA

    We will see on this one, personally my USA craftsman wrenches are great and have been for years of working on countless cars. IF they could get all the quality's back of the old tools i would buy them again if mine wear out

    1987 Cutlass Build

    So since the frame is done the project for the weekend is prepping the suspension. Should have the rear back any time and the front got cleaned up and a lot of rust scale taken off. The front lowers i had to resort to fixing the bushings with fire and cut the shells out of the arms as they were...

    Sbc 305 build with factoey bottom end

    There is an episode of engine masters and they had a little 305 when they put it on the dyno it was around 350hp i believe and there really wasnt all that much done to it. Cam and heads. So it can be done from the little engines.

    Okay have the whole frame coated in POR 15 and the floors of the body done. Will have to go back over the frame with POR 15 top coat then it should be ready for at least some parts to start going back onto it. Have to keep telling myself not to rush

    1987 Cutlass Build

    Does eliminating the flex of the upper arms by boxing them have any differences with replacing them with tubular arms that dont flex? Or is it if you box them and they cant flex they might break because of the material?

    1987 Cutlass Build

    Body coming out of hibernation. Stripped the seats and carpet out of it. Unfortunately water was getting in and put a few small holes in the passenger rear floor but after a good wire wheel the whole floor is looking better. Getting this ready to coat with POR 15 also so i can get this body...
