i can remember the day this car came home, i couldnt be older than 5 at the time and this thing was a wreck. but it was love at first sight and sparked my interest in cars and all things GM.
a bit about the cars history. it was originally a standard no frills v8 car with an auto trans. it now has z28 badges a zz4 crate 350, 700r4 trans, with a 12 bolt posi rear with 3.73 gears
my dad did all the work himself, the sand blasting, body work, engine interior etc. at the time i was too young to lend a hand but ive always loved the car, and stood patiently and watched.
the car was painted forest green metallic with pearl white stripes at skulllys autobody in hawthorne nj. pictures dont do the paint justice. in the sun it is phenomenal and the pearl in the white is insane. the car has been in its current configuration since i was 12 (im 19 now) and hasnt been driven more than 1 mile. :-x:facepalm: :evil:
my dad recently acquired a original 454 ls6 out a 70 chevelle from a friend at his work. the engine was in running condition but before my dad just dropped it in he took it apart. he found some scaring on on cylinder so it was out to the machine shop. it is now bored 60 over.
i dont know much about technical specs so bear with me. i know domed pistons are going in and its going to be running 10.5/1 compression. as far as cam specs im not sure yet it hasnt arrived. we will be running the stock ls6 heads
this will be the first time im going to get my hands inside in engine and actually wrench with my dad. i cant wait :lol:
now for pictures
