So I've finally started really rebuilding my SS, 6 ****ing months later.
So far i've invested every paycheck, it's been a painful 6 months. But i can finally say i've got something badass.
I'll have some new pics up soon, The new rims are tires are Crager quick 8's, black. With BFG's 225's up front and 255's in the rear. Brake drums totally rebuilt, new ALUMINUM drums and all, yeah aluminum. I didn't even know they made aluminum drums, i couldn't find them online but my friend who races had literally a corner of his garage full of old brake drums, and when we where going through them for scrap i found two aluminum ones that fit my car. Ballin.
Finally got a new Summit Double hump transmission cross member for the 700R4, Ballin.
Pretty much rebuilt the 700R4 for a sh*t-load of those Raptor goodies from transmissioncenter, And a derale Transmission cooler Pan, Ballin.
My motor's finally up to baller status,
I-85 World SR torquer II heads, 64CC, 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust, With alittle machine shop trickery involved.
Comp cams Extreme Energy Hydrualic flat tap cam, .454/.454 and i think 289 Duration. I called comp cams and told them the entire vehicle setup, this is the cam they recomended. And my friend who's got allot of racing experience, And the most baller 410 race motor i've ever seen, told me this Cam was good, Ballin.
Also ordered the Entire valve train to match the cam, and everything to dress the heads, according to the cam. Ballin
(Full roller rockers also, Ballin.)
I forgot what the exact model is but i picked up a used aluminium Edelbrock intake, with a nice little Rise on it, Ballin.
I had an old Holley 650 Double pumper carb i had rebuilt, And ported out alittle for exactly what the cam demands, Ballin.
And my good-old Mallory HEI super 86 series, Ballin.
Also picked up a used 8 quart oil pan, and a new melling Pump.
Oil pan, valve covers, air cleaner, and all the pulleys are going to be powder coated Black. I'm keeping everything under the hood Black to match the car. The valve coverts are what i think are an original pair of aluminum Corvette valve covers. so once i get them powder coated i'll just brush down the corvette logos on the top.
Aluminum 4-core afco racing radiator, and high velocity aluminum water pump, 180 degree thermostat Mr.gasket, I haven't heard good things about this thermostat though?
I haven't bought headers yet but i'm going with a nice set of trickflows, and i'm going to wrap them to keep the heat in the headers. Ballin
I'm going to pickup some exhaust cutouts, cable operated. Ballin (maybe, the 2" exhaust doesn't seem very baller to me.)
Finally got a new windshield, crazy b*tch. I don't what i was thinking, but it wasen't ballin.
New steering columb installed, tilt wheel optional, New ignition with 3 spare keys cut. I picked up the stock radio face plate from another monte at a yard, and modified it to fit the new deck, AND added a USB charger port, and had it painted black at a shop. ****in' Custom ballin.
Picked up a Hotchkis sway bar, because mine was sucking. Ballin
Thats about it for suspension mods, other than that i rebuilt the brakes in the front, new tie-rod ends and what not, made sure everything else is in good condition and cleaned it all up really good.
Still using the stock rearend, with what i'm assuming is 3.73's because doing the wheel turn test is ****ing impossible by yourself. Ballin
Oh, and i finally got all of the symbols for my car, some dickbag stole them all back in SC. I wish i could mount a .22 pistol behind the symbol, so it fires if the symbol is removed.
Anyways, that's my build so far, new pics up soon.
