To far for me lol my limit for car meets is no longer then a half hour drive lol.

[HickRocket1258]

Sleeper, let me know about the hood struts and I'll paypal you the money or something. I could just go to Pepboys or somewhere but god who knows how bad they would mess up on getting it right.

[SleeperGoat]

[SikneSS]

yes we know..... you mention it EVERYTIME you post.

[HickRocket1258]

Haha I don't care about giving out info. Not many people know about the car really. I'm trying to put it back on the street where it was before I got it.

Just a little 383, set up for juice, with mild cam, Dart heads, stock block. Some other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head which I'd need to find in paper work. Also, stock suspension, just Lakewood shocks and struts. 9" rear with 3.90 gears. Turbo 350 with TCI 3000 converter. Full weight, but no p/s, a/c or heat. Last but not least, 3" cat to 4" custom piping all the way back over the axle with Flowmaster 40 series muffler.

There might be more in it, but I've never messed around with the jets or anything in the carb.

My dream would be for a Malibu wagon drag car, on 275s, or if worse comes to worse just Malibu, or Regal.

oh ok, so it's got a good bit of engine work to it, very nice man. so it's built for juice but it's not running it?

and that's a huge exhaust! haha!

if i can get this s10 i found, i have good plans for it. first option is LS1 swap but that's only if i can still get this great deal on the LS1 from a friend in NY. if that falls thru, i believe my uncle has a 350 collecting dust in his garage. i'd much rather do the LS1 because it seems all the v8 swapped s10's in my area have either 305 or 350. heck, if the 4.3 v6 that's in the s10 is still strong, i might do a custom turbo setup on it for sh!ts & giggles.

[HickRocket1258]

Most of the work that is done to it, was done by the previous owner. I'm not one to dump a whole lot of money into it. All I have changed was no p/s, electric pump and fan. That's about it. Couldn't break out of 12s since the day I owned it, but then boom, going 11.60s in good weather.

[SikneSS]

yea that's pretty good times for what's done to it.

[ThePrimerSuspect]

Current daily. 33s and 10 mpg on a good day

Current project. 351 Lightning motor 5 speed. Hopefully will be finished this spring. Cause I miss driving it.

And a couple of my previous domestics

[HickRocket1258]

[ThePrimerSuspect]

drop a 4bt in it and i guarantee you'll at least double your mileage. could pick up a little power too

[ThePrimerSuspect]

Na I need a car. I drive a truck all day this things just not cuttin it anymore. Its goin to a friend so I know it'll be in good hands.

[RedBowTies88]

[HickRocket1258]

it is, but if you didn't know any better and saw it on the street you would think it was a 2wd 1500. unless it was running or you counted the lug nuts



you can find used ones now for the low teens and get some really nice pieces for upper 20's low 30's

[HickRocket1258]

Yeah but with an ishload of miles. I know 100k miles is like 50k miles for a diesel but damn its rediculous.
