Although I did accidentally break off one of the bleeder screws. But, if I didn't break something I would feel like i didn't accomplish anything, lol

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
So, what's in the box? (Every time i say that i hear it in brad pitts voice, you know, from the movie se7en) lol
A little more bling for the diff I looked at this..... Automatically I started thinking there must be like one guy at Hotchkis that is responsible for putting all these stickers on their products. To that guy I say, You failed. lol Did as much as I could last night, remember, I live in Texas and it got up to 103° today. My garage is sweltering, lol

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
You got further than I did. I haven't been out to work on my truck since July. And even that was for a very short amount of time. Humidity sucks! Parts look sweet, and what you've done so far looks great. I especially love the blue calipers.

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
Thanks guys! I am proud to say this officially concludes the suspension portion of this build! This is a huge milestone for me! I am very excited, I am still waiting on the coater to get the wheels done and saving up for some tires. I think my estimate on starting the engine may have been a little too ambitious. It will probably be closer to the new year before I can start it. But I will get some stuff done here and there between now and then. So please, stay tuned and check back often!

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
So I am trying to work a deal that will land me an Edelbrock dual quad set up as well as two turbos. Now, how sick would it be to have a 365 stroker running that dual quad (junking the Edelbrock carbs and replacing each of them with Holly Terminator EFI throttle bodies) with intercooled turbos pushing each throttle body?

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
So a friend of mine found a type of desk top dyno that lets you put in all of your engine specs and basically runs a virtual dyno on your engine. So we put in all of my specs (very detailed specs) and here is what my engine "should" run:
492HP @ 5500RPM 487Tq @ 4500RPM This is without the bottle. The simulator had an add-on for NOS but didn't look right to me. This should be one beast of a motor!
