I bought the car at the age of 24 in 1992 as a daily driver. It had the
original L82 motor, tranny, etc. I drove it for about a year and then my
father and I put a 383 in it with Dart Sportsman II heads and an Edelbrock
Proflo EFI system in it.
It sat for about 6 years in a body shop getting painted and then about 4 years
ago, I got it out and started tinkering with it again. I put in a heavier
driveshaft, new 3" half-shafts, offset heavy duty trailing arms, rear 390 # VBP
spring and Tremec TKO 5 speed with a custom cross member. I also redid the
seat covers, interior carpet, and dash. I put some Draglite XP wheels on
it: Front - 15X8 with 235 60 BFG; Rear - 15X9X 5 3/16" BS with 295 50 BFG tires.
Last year I dug into the motor and put a 427 sb in it with the following specs:
Dart Little M block, 4" stroke,
4.125" bore
Scat 4340 crank and rods
Mahle forged pistons; 10.5:1 CR
AFR 210 Eliminator CNC heads
Comp cams steel roller rockers, 1.6
with AFR stud gird
Comp cams solid roller cam with
631/631 lift; 250/258 @ .050; 111 LS (think it is around .670 lift with 1.6's)
FAST xfi efi computer/wiring and dual
sync distributor
A1000 fuel pump with -8AN feed/-6AN
return lines
Also made a driveshaft loop, 5 point
roll cage, replaced the rear body mounts.
This year
Ported Motown EFI intake with FAST
1375 cfm throttle body
55 lb low impedance Delphi injectors
Still tuning it as it wasn't getting
enough fuel
Things left include tuning the EFI, some interior work, door hardware
replacement, L88 hood install and paint and Dragvette 6-link; flanged 17 spline
half-shaft install. |
