Default DREAMIN TA 2

Was going to do something simple like change the exhaust
on the 79 Ta... Problem is most of the exhaust bolts were rusted
and broke a few... Only way to drill them out is pull the engine
You know how that goes

Going with a small block stroker 400 cubic inches
Keeping the Th350.. adding ridetech subframe connectors
and a roll bar to stiffen up the T-top car... already has
Speedtech coil overs etc... also changing the front bumper
to a 1978

The project begins

Just couldn't stay away could you, Bob?

I loved my 383 Gen 2 LT1. Such a fun motor.

Good luck with the build.

Worked on getting the Old 79 front end off as I bought
a 78 to replace it... did a test fit.... now to get all
the hardware off it so I can get it painted
Subframe connectors show up later this week

What's the story on the white TA, Bob?

Those are meaty tires.

Please excuse my ignorance, but since the Potenza’s handle differently than the Rival’s, would that make it harder to dial in the overall handling of the car? Or would it be just like adjusting for different sizes (not necessarily the sizes you have).
Thanks, Ed
