LT1 Build in Progress
 
Hey im some what new on here dont make alot of post but i finally have done some saving and want to share my build with everyone. im building a LT1 longblock as we speak ordered my rods pistons and a pro shot fogger today. still a lot more stuff to buy. No pics but i plan on taking a bunch so i will keep the thread updated as progess is made.

cool. just some advise, that im sure you are already considering but dont buy the crap like nitrous stuff, until its in and running.lol. just my 2 cents. things will add up so fast you wont know what hit you then you will have half an engine and a immobile car. anywho, good luck, id love to see pics. and any specs on it? 383?...heads, cam etc...?

zbra_cakes 01-30-2006 11:57 PM

its a 355. goin to have AFR heads and cam choice in unknown for now. also a 2 speed powerglide from TCI and a vigilante stall with 410 gear.

Sounds like a good plan, I wish I had the extra cash to do that.

Street or Strip? 4.10 gear sounds good for the strip. Good luck with it!

street and powerglide with that converter and gear:eek: My '69 had a powerglide, and in traffic it was not too bad, but on the interstate it was obnoxious

97z2801ss 01-31-2006 11:03 PM

yea this will not be a daily driven car after ure done

zbra_cakes 02-04-2006 01:04 AM

sorry guys no pics today its been raining and just a solid mess around.. alot of nice parts came in today tho. i finally decided on a cam. Its a Comp, Duration 268/276, Lift .570/.565. quite large on the NA side but, on the nitrous she should scream. but ill shoot some pics tomorrow afternoon.

zbra_cakes 02-05-2006 09:45 PM
