My other Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ksbrktracer · 08-31-2009, 10:19 PM

Just some pics of my latest project , thought I would put them out there for you to see. Its a 67, gonna run a 383 sbc w/pg trans , 9" ford rearend with all strange internals, 5000 rpm stall , hipster brake , Billet Specialties Street Lites , It will be all steel with the exception of a fiberglass hood. I hoping for around 31-3200 pounds done and shooting for the 10's with no power adders. Im gonna run M/T e-t street radials , and wilwood brakes on all 4 corners.
I just got the car back from Riffel Motorsports in Newton Kansas and I cant say enough About how happy I am with the way it turned out. He installed a 10-point cage, tied the subframes and did it all in chromoly and tig welded everything. Will certify to 25.1 (8.50).

Very nice.....

ksbrktracer · 09-11-2009, 10:05 PM

not much done yet, couple of of updates tho , got all of the steering pieces installed, fabbed all new front brake lines, started patching the floor where the subframe connectors come thru , hope to get more done this weekend. Finally got some new coil springs for it also, as you can see the ones in it have been severly heated. Getting close to being able to set the engine and trans in shortly.

I like the 68 maliburat .... !!!!

Didnt make much progress this weekend but I did get the rearend housing picked up....About 2" s narrower than a stock rearend and had the rear brace installed.... By the way....How about my work bench...pretty slick huh....!!!!!!

ksbrktracer · 10-10-2009, 09:46 PM

Time for an update.....I finally got the motor and trans set in ....... and I got it fired up.......YAY.......nothing renews interest in a project more than getting it running if you ask me.. My best friend from kansas came down and helped me this past week .....And I do have to say without him being there and pushing me it wouldnt be to the point of where it is now. We scratch built the wiring harness....mainly because it will spend most of its time on the dragstrip and we added an electric waterpump , fan, line lock , trans brake and all MSD ignition. Still waiting on rear differntial pieces to show up.....they ordered the wrong pieces and are reordering them. Have a little more plumbing to do for the rear brakes. Starting to hang all of the sheetmetal back on it now....I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel now that almost all of the fab work is done....Then it will be time to make it look good, but I think we will work the bugs out of it first. Here ar a few pictures too....!

ksbrktracer · 12-09-2009, 01:33 AM

Time for another update.....I got to make some passes at Tulsa raceway park.....High 7.50's @ 92 mph in the 1/8 mile.....Pretty happy because all of the passes were within 4 hundredths.....no tuning whatsoever....set the floats, set the timing and unload it off of the trailer and that was foot braking it....havent made a pass with the trans brake yet...I'm guessing maybe 3-4 tenths quicker with the brake......my 10's are closer than I thought

ksbrktracer · 12-09-2009, 01:39 AM
