Another Update!!!
 
Here's yet another update! Luckily I accomplished what I have been setting out to do every day I work on her.

Today was getting that old powerplant OUTTA THERE!!!!

For being a six cylinder, GM made sure that biotch takes up a TON of space!!!

After I muscled that out of there I got my helper to power wash...she did a great job!

On to the pics!!!!

Decided to do a little buttoning up on the motor for now...gonna run carbed for a little while until I can afford the fuel injection. I want to upgrade the suspension and rolling stock first...get her moving. Then possibly do the injection then body or vice versa... :faint:



Oh well...on to the pics...sorry for the clutter...too much crap in the garage!!! :eek: :eek:

That olds power looks killer, I get where your comming from. EFI is either expensive or it takes a bunch of your time to build using some of the home build options.
Lots to do, hard to pick where to start and what the priorities are.:willy:

I most definitely plan on doing the EFI but I know myself too damn well and won't be able to not drive the thing...hahaha

So like you said...all in stages. I am definitely knocking out the suspension first then wheels and tires to make her a roller.

From there, we'll see what the bank account will allow. :lol:

Very nice. Good luck.:thumbsup:

Oops...slight change in plans...
 
Well...I think I might have taken a slight shift in directions...a coworker of mine had been working on me for a while to pick something up off him and oh well...I couldn't resist:

I got a ridiculous deal on this baby! Goin' blowthrough now!!! :willy: :wow: :willy:

What's the compression ratio in the motor?
Will it need to go lower to utilize that whirligig thing;)?
Cool!

Looking at 3 wheels currently - the New Gen 500 for obvious reasons, the Rushforth Rated-Xs and a little dealy that Jason R is working on for me personally...I think you Olds guys will dig it!

If it is either of the first two, then you got my business! :thumbsup:
