Well, I guess it's time for my first build thread.
I bought the car in 2005 fully expecting to SBC it. It was running and driving, so I drove it for a couple months until the stock I6 overheated. It has sat since summer 2007. Waiting for me to leave the military, and then waiting for me get enough shit gathered to start it.
I'm finishing up a mild roller 355 Chevy. It's got Brodix heads and a forged rotating assy with some dome probe pistons. Motor would make some good power if it wasnt for the stock roller cam. I've got an LS1 T56 and some crazy ass adapter that's supposed to make it work with an old SBC.
I'm only lacking a slave cylinder (and fabbing a mount to my lakewood) and a camaro clutch-fork for to install the motor and tranny. Once installed it'll still be a good ways from firing. I'll have to wire it, wire in a ton of autometers, find a driveshaft, a radiator and a few odds and ends.
I'm mainly making this thread for motivation. I towed the car here, and I want to drive it out of here in late April when I move back to DFW. At a minimum I at least want to drive it onto a trailer. Money is the main limiting factor, I've got tons of free time.
The car is pretty straight and solid, just covered in dust. I'm not doing shit to the engine bay. Aint no body got tiiiime
