I bought this car 3 years ago, paint and body were nice interior decent...drivetrain mostly crap. It was a 350/TH350 with a 10 bolt open rear with 2.73's and 4 wheel drum brakes.
Replaced the 10 bolt with a 12 bolt w/3.42's and posi. Boxed UMI Lowers and Spohn Adjustable upper LCA
Pulled the dead 350sbc and built a 454bbc
In the end I would like this car to be a LS2/TKO combo (the motor I built would be used in another project of mine) with greatly improved braking, handling, and ride quality. Currently the front suspension is stock (except for the hotchkis bar I added) I have UCA/LCA from speedtech coming and will be changing to QA1 coilovers as well.
****UPDATE****
Been plugging away at the car slowly the last couple of weeks trying to get rear discs installed, Hydroboost, and steering box swap completed. Life/work have slowed me down greatly.
Currently the Hydroboost is in, and the new MC bench bled and hung. I am waiting on some fittings and lines to come in and then I can get started on the plumbing:
The rear disc kit is in, I just need to go back everything and torque it down. I also need to fill the rear end back up. I ended up going with a pretty basic kit for the time being as I still have 15" rally wheels. I am saving like crazy and can't wait to call Driverz inc. and put in my order. In the meantime this will be plenty and will get the car on the road in time for the few sunny days a year we get here in WA.
