No, Nothing catastrophic. we rebuilt the Carburetor, and put in new Plugs. the car would run 8.4* one run and 8.7* or worse, the next run, spitting , coughing etc. I found some slop in the Distributor cap on my last run of the season...it coughed and puked off the line to a 9.something, and...

I Like your Plate! LOL Hello from Hbg

Freshly rebuilt 355 between the fenders and a new set of drag wheels and tires!

Long Winter Over, Spring is here. Pulled the Engine and sent it to a highly recommended machine shop for a Refresh/ Upgrade I now a a 355 with 10.5-1 compression, new pistons, valves, cam, rockers, starter, oil pan and pump, and fuel pump. Installed and running. Just a few minor things to do...

End of Season recap: Went to NHRA Northeast Division Finals at Numidia Raceway, was running dead nuts consistent 8.55 in the 1/8 and missed a shift/ shifted too late, and I think I over revved the engine, went 8.59 and lost...the car was hurt. Could not Launch after that, just stumble and...

Too much going on this year, but the Final Results are in! I made it to #1 in Points in the NHRA Sportsman Class at my Home track! Even earned an entry to the exclusive Race of Champions G Body's rule!

We started out the year struggling. bad valve adjustment, bad alternator, rusty reaction time... But , I am here to say, that I have gotten the valve train back on track, replaced the alternator, and even replaced the hacked exhaust for a better design. And , with the almost completely worn...

Today wasn’t a hard day. Just cleaned up the coil brackets and swapped out the Fi intake for a carbureted manifold

Little bit of progress today. Comp Cams spring compressor worked very well changing the springs then I swapped out the cam for the sloppy 2

Put the recent clamshells on. Lowered the engine , but I couldnt clear the headers. Moved the mounts just a little bit forward, Massaged the firewall and it's sitting in there with good header clearance. BUT.... I put the truck pan back on, I still have about 6" ground clearance, and since...

I came across a G body Cutlass with a SBC in the pick n pull. All things considered time and labor, I probably would have broke even. I am also thinking about swapping in a sloppy 2 cam

I Scored a pair of car clamshells today/ Progress will resume next weekend!

That Sombrero is pretty SWEET! Mine is a Pigalle. I am Pexican ( Pensylvania Mexican LOL)

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. Can't find a part number on them, so....the search is on to find verified car clamshells. I do have the ICT Adapter plates, so I am optimistic

Set the engine in the Chassis, but my Clamshells do not seem to be correct. If one bolt is through the Motor mount, the other side is about an inch high, and an inch wide. Might be truck clamshells? I also scored some offshore Stainless Steel headers that are going to fit And a new in the...

I just want to weigh in for a minute. My 85 cutlass 442 is running a 7.5 from a junkyard cutlass with 26 spline 3.73 gearset from an early 80’s S-10(ring, pinion, diff) with a mini spool. It runs mid 8’s 1/8 and has gone 13.16@ 104+. In the 1/4 this is three seasons of racing. I don’t “shock “...

the 88-98 4 door Yukons and Tahoes are really close as well, like 1/4 difference

After tearing it apart, it appears to have been from a 76-80 Wagoneer, Stretched in the middle about 9-12" And, I found out why it barely ran..... oil pan had some exit wounds hidden behind the motor mounts Sold the Engine, Trans .Transfer case, and cross member and Radiator to one goy...

No. No Need to. they fit fine on an 8" wheel with 4" Backspace I also run Centerline Convo Pro's with about 3.375 BS, they do not rub either
