The 86 Is Home

[NorthwestGrudgeRacer]

Hello just wanted to say killer site. My name is Jason owner of Outlaw Boost me and my son are doing a father and son build on the 86 we saved from the crusher..
The night we got it home.

The next day.



We started by pulling the push bar off the lumber rack and cleaned the truck real good got the oil leak fixed and fixed the rad. she runs like a top and on little rust spot.



we are going to go the stret/track with this truck. long list of stuff to do so it will be a long build.

Well be working on the truck today. Still kicking around a SBC or a BBC. Starting on the trans build and droppin the front. Will have pics up tonight.

[NorthwestGrudgeRacer]

Well still no ups truck lol. well here are some pics have more later.
Start with a good core.

Got the dir.. piston cut down for a extra clutch.

upgraded the front race to a harden 36 elem.


Putting in a stage 3 transgo kit.

Ill try to get more pics of the build of the trans. Talk to a guy about a BBC 454 so it mite get the big block with twin hair dryers

Well got side tracked with customers and looking for a BBC for the truck. Well found a motor pick it up next week and then the moch ups and fab work starts custom built turbo headers down pipes ect ect. Ill post pics.

Ok I have a question I have to swap out the motor perches for a BBC or has some one used a soild upper mount and the 4.3 v6 perches? If i have to swap them do i have to look for 86 perches I was reading and some one said the 86 frame are different them say a 77 or so any help will be great.

Pic of the motor still need a rebuild

I could be wrong, but I thought the V6 and the SBC used the same mounts and locations,but you have to move the perches to the next set of holes for the BBC...like I said, I could be wrong.

[NorthwestGrudgeRacer]

thats what i was thinking the mounting holes are the same on the blocks v6, sbc,bbc just not a clam shell but i want to go solid for the build 496 with twin 76mm s400 turbos. Ill be out there playing with it between customers cars.

[NorthwestGrudgeRacer]

Started moch up on the perches. Here are some pics enjoy.

[NorthwestGrudgeRacer]
