Thanks too bad my wallet doesnt feel the same way! Biggest thing that sucked was having to get a dual keyway crank. Plus i decided that i wanted to get a bigger stroke and displacement so i made it a square block 4.500 bore x 4.500 stroke so its a 572. I forgot that it meant instead of just getting a set of lower compression blower pistions that i had to get longer rods along with my dual keyed crank... (4 grand later lol)

So i widened my fender 14 inches to fit the 54" tires. So the way i did it was just free handed the design i wanted then chopped that section out and stretched it. Then i made a flat center section. Not to shabby for a poser with minimal fab skills! Im not sure why i spent so much time on this, its just gonna crunch the first time i roll it! Lol

Got the brakes all mounted up, made a little cubbyhole, A. So that the master cylinders were on the outside of the firewall and B. I made it tall so that you could fit a bottle of brake fluid inside when its time to fill them. Made it out of diamond plate so it kinda matched the rest of the firewall...

No build thread just a 92 Chevy on Rockwells and a Big Block with 44's, nothing like the SWEET BURB !! It is funny how 44's are small these days and a built 477 still aint big enough!!!!

Indeed it has! Without starting a forum war, lets just say, it wouldn't be well received by the masses over there... The dudes on the mud forum would be dropping their jaws though! I just like any kind of build that required talent and ingenuity! Like yours!

Rude! I resent that... Although I am usually not the one telling people they are worthless tools that should swallow broken glass and gurgle bleach.

Now, if this was a conglomeration of ghetto-booty-fab and done on the cheap, then yes, I would not be a fan. Due to the fact that everything looks professional and actually planned out, and not ghetto-booty-fabbed, it gets an A+ in my book

Sweet build, love seeing it come together.

Not sure if this has been asked yet......but, how are you going to get it out of the garage?

Legit question, i get asked it about every day from the UPS/USPS/ FedEx or Neighbor or my wife haha. Basically i will hopefully get around to mounting the shocks and links on here in the next week or so then i will basically lift the body off the chassis and roll the frame out into the driveway then drop the body down and roll that out of the garage. I also have 235/75 r16 transport tires to lower it a bit haha. Ill make sure to take some pics of when i do it cause everyone wants to know how!!!

Thanks buddy, the motor just got done and dynoed. 1372 hp and 1168 lbft of tq. With alcohol and a 15% overdrive pulley lots of timing and like 12 or 13 lbs of boost. I wont run near those kind of numbers though, I have a 10% overdrive about 7 lbs of boost and reduced timing to reduce detonation. Still over 1000 hp just not friggen almost 1400! lol
