We finished the last minute details, including programming of Isis to roll windows down with remote and lock/unlock doors, soft fading interior lighting, also made "CHEVELLE" logos for coil covers and misc. tuning. After putting about about 50 miles on it, this thing is a beast! it drives smooth and civilized, but with an extremely flat torque band and 600 hp, will roast the drag radials at will. corners good and is a very comfortable ride. The only thing not done was paint. I think we acheived our goal of looking like a stocker pretty good. The customer picked it up and was very pleased. Future plans call for a cold air intake and 3.73 rear gears to replace the 3.08s. We also will be running it at sac raceway in the near future. (mid to high 11's?)
WOW. That is amazing. I plan on doing the same to my 70 in the distant future. Would you mind giving the specs on the motor/tranny mounts you used to get the motor to sit on the frame?
Thanks guys. Its a fun car I think he's going to enjoy alot. To answer a couple of questions, in first and second theres no traction. But I've seen these tires hook hard at the track after a burnout so well have to see at the track! The engine brackets are Edelbrock with energy suspension mounts. Oil pan was Moroso and trans crossmember was made by G-force. (We were going to build our own, but couldn't beat the price.very good exhaust clearance too) We originally tried to use engine brackets supplied from Turnkey with the engine but oil pan contacted steering linkage and crossmember.
BTW Jason, Were looking forward to the Torino!
