Re: Motor upgrade!

I still have some cleaning, detailing, and fine tuning to do...but it's getting close! I finally opened up the secondaries today, and it's certainly got a lot more grunt then the old 305 did.

these pics are after the 383 stroker installation, and adding.....Accel spark plugs, Accel wires, Accel cap & rotor; Flowtech headers, Proform aluminum water pump, rebuilt alternator, new fuel pump, new heater core and radiator, rebuilt power steering pump, hoses and ps gearbox; Pioneer flexplate and rebuilt starter, and new March performance pulleys and brackets.








I still have a sway bar to add and some brake and suspension work to do, especially since I'm guessing now it will run low 14's or maybe quicker. The '70 Camaro it was in ran 13.8x's.
