Havnt gone to the track with the currrent set up for fear of ripping the car apart. Wanted to strengthen her up. Blew rhe money on engine and transmission last spring doing suspension this spring. Collecting parts for when she can come out of storage. Thanks for the info guys. One other question...

I have the weld in gussets would i benefit to having adjustable lowers? Or what qould the benefit be.

Trying to decide which rear control arm set up i need. My cutlass will be mostly a drag car and a weekend driver. She has 550 horse 455 in it. I run 275 et streets but have a hard time hooking well. I am going to change shock set up and want to change rear suspension up.

Well I pick the block up on Tuesday most likey. And I'm just gonna get the good eagle rods and Keith black pistons. Then I have to wait a another two weeks until I get payed to get the gaskets but I'll at least have the short block ready. Stupid money haha

I misunderstood them on the head gasket thickness. they said to stay under a .050 more around the .038 range will be just fine. I use the 460 rear main seal and offset the ends from were the cap meets the block. If I go with the floating pins I need different rods is what your saying correct...

Yes I will hand them everything so that it can be ballanced. The block is getting .030 over bored and decked. The crank has allready been done so I will stick with the press fits. Heads are 80 cc I measured my self with a home made checker that I made a while back. Im gunna go with the xe274 cam...

Any thoughts guys

Yah It needs a 30 over we decided to just leave it there

Yah id look into it more if I was using anything from the old engine except for the crank. The crank is at the machine shop with the block and new rods. Im going to have it punched 30 over, align honed. He will ballance all of it and ill assemble it. What kind of pistons do you guys recommend im...

Well I measured the to bores today at work. Block is only good for a tabel at this point. Im going to pick one up tomorrow to get to the machine shop before they get really busy. Still thinking of going .060 over.

Wrist pins some how slid into the side walls. Stock press fit ones some how slid out....

So last year she started burming some oil. I stuck her in the back yard for the winter to rip the engine out this spring. I got it ripped down yesterday. I found to gouges in the #2and 8 cylinder wall. I left my measuring stuff at work so I wont know if a .060 over bore will fix it like i think...
