Congrats Clint
Re: Congrats Clint
Thanks man. I am looking to get this running a little quicker maybe add some boost to the T/A along with the 150shot. What you think? Well it needs a rollcage first but I'd rather go fast first. Later Clint
Re: Congrats Clint
Yeah well the seats are a project that I am looking to get started on in the next few weeks but I haven't decided on what seat to go with and I want them to be upholstered in tan cloth so I will have to have the covers custom made. The carpet does have the padding removed for a few pounds but it's staying for now.
James I should have kept that shortblock so I could have just bought some new dish pistons and would have been ready to go with 15+psi of boost. That way I wouldn't have no downtime but it's alright. I am thinking of going with a small blower or turbo just to make 6-8psi and keep a 150shot on it to run deep 9's. Later Clint

Re: Congrats Clint
Yeah, I have the same seats, when ever I have to take those things out its a real chore. Taking them out is easy, but getting them lined up on the 4 bolts, you figure out how heavy they are really fast. I want after market seats but I want to be some what comfortable, those stock TA seats are heavy but they are nice.

Re: Congrats Clint
Thats cool James it costs too much to ship that bad baoy from what you told me LOL. I think if I decide togo that route I will just pull the motor and put some new dish pistons in it along with a cam swap. Later

Clint,
Congratulations on the excellent coverage in GM HighTech!! I have moved to Tennessee although my car is still in Lafayette waiting for the 383 install. I am sorry we never got together...would have luved to see ur car run having heard so much about it even before I moved to Lafayette. In any event, great article on a fast car...well-deserved. Hope all is well w/ you and yours!!
Thanks!
Mike
