Heres the catch, if it runs into the 14s. She gets my 406 SBC .

 

Thanks for looking!

 

That's a neat project man. Definitely keep us updated on how it does, I know i'm interested.

 

Sweet! Makes me miss my 3rd gen :'(

Nice SiR sticker

 

im sorry

 

Cool project. Pop in that 406 SBC and slap on some fresh paint and you'll be good to go.

 

good project, but i think your estimated weight after stripping are too low. You removed alot, but it's VERY tough to get a 3rd gen that light! In fact, your original weight sounds very low. did you weigh it before on a truck scale or go by some reference? What tranny do you have in it? Also, do you think it's worth it to remove the impact bars? despite the weight penalty, they sure are nice to have in case of an accident.

 

Ive been keeping track of my wieght at work. I load semis for a living kinda handy. That and this car doesnt see the street so the bumpers really wernt worth keeping in there.

But I have more progress. I just need to post the pics. So keep checkin in yalls.

 

Screw the 406,sell it to someone who thinks SBC are fast and throw a big block in it,seeing as how its not a street car.

Nice project,I love fast cars that looks like crap
