Re: Faded 87 soon to be LS powered
The plan is not to go nuts on the expenses but still make nice driver out of it:
Power: I got 4.8 vortec with 4L60E trans out of 2005 silverado recently. I paid $1900 for the whole truck that was side wrecked and I am still selling good parts out of it. Goal is to have no more then $1000 tied in engine-trans combo when all is sold.
Interior: Redone bench seat or newer buckets with center console, not sure yet. All carpets and plastic are red now - will go for the black on carpet and plastic, not sure on seat yet. Dash is black and it pop out nice on red.
Suspension: Belltech 3" drop spindle with potential 1-3" spring up front, flip kit rear. When this is done I will decide on small C notch and anything else needed to make it sit right.
Wheels and tires: staggered set of 18" wheels, not decided on style yet (hoping on good local CL deal till then lol), same tires as on my 64; 255 front, 295 rear. Might even do 20" on this one, square body looks good with 20" on it.
Brakes: Stock size rotors and drums, new flex lines, new all that need attention.
When I am done this is look I am going for but no tint glas lol.
