Re: another new guy from alberta though
currentl has a 350/350 in it,but the motor is tired......i stripped a 86 caprice was told it had a 350 in it but it's a 305 runs great so i'm thinking about a gasket kit and some bolt on stuff then put the 305 in,also have a o/d tranny with the 305 aswell
next would be fixing the body,changing everything to 5 bolt(gotta look that stuff up yet),get rid of the drum brakes(yes still has drums on all 4 corners lol)......then one never knows |

Re: another new guy from alberta though
I thought of changing from drums but for the moment that's stock. Nice grab on the 305/OD trans though. But I'd keep that 350 and build it up.

Re: another new guy from alberta though
ok haven't done much but gather more parts.....no c notch for me(well not for a long while if i do one)stripped a 82 chev truck for parts so i have my new front end for the air bags,was going to use the rear diff to but being a stepside and lowering it i think getting the right rim/tire combo might be harder,for now i'm gunna redrill the 6 bolt axle to a 5 bolt (that'll be awhile yet i'm sure)needing rear fenders fronts wouldn't hurt either but.......being out of work puts a real damper on ambition and everything else
cpl pics for browsing..... |
