Fizoust Build Thread
After lurking on this website for a long time now, Ive decided since Im finally starting this build I will post progress.
History on truck: The truck was bought by my father in the mid 90s with a tired 305 he swapped with a cratemotor 350 with 350. By the time it was my truck in high school, the crate 350 had 250k miles haha. Around 2003 I built a 383 stroker and dropped it in. I bagged it and it wasnt too much longer after i realized, i couldnt afford the gas, go figure right? I then started dreaming of a more gas reliable solution and going with a standard transmission. The second I saw the donor 95 trans am I knew that the LT1 and T56 was meant to be in my old chevy. After much dreaming planning, and stocking up parts Ive decided to start the project. |

Re: Fizoust Build Thread
Clutch pedal didnt really work out as planned. Scrapped the idea of using stock mastercylinder, and picked up wilwood clutch pedal setup with a speedway motors 7/8 mastecylinder.
Havent mounted it yet but should work out, will post updated pictures soon. also, with much debate Ive decided to remove my airbags. I ordered a 4/6 ECE drop kit and the bag kit is already sold just need to yank it out. pictures will be uploaded in the near future. |
