:hail:

you can get a beater cheap
mine was 1300

that would cost me more than just fixing the T/A and finishing the camaro

i dont think the 305 could handle spray

plus i have a buyer for it this weekend

Damn...diggin in fast huh?

buyer for it meaning the nitrous.

o0o can't wait to see how far you chop this thing down

Sweet, I got a buyer for my tranny. He better go through with it too because it was a pain getting the thing out. With the money I can rebuild the TH-350, get the swap kit and a reverse manual valve body. Not bad if you ask me. I still don't know what kind of torque converter to get for it though. And i have to find out what starter will work with it.

85 c10 starter.....get that thing together, I'll race ya...

kewl man g/l with that!

IMO if you want it to still be reasonably streetable, don't go with anything much higher than 3000 stall. I have two converters for a TH400 that are 3500 stall (one is ATI the other is dynamic) and they are borderline streetable..

It's not going to be streetable at all. This is going to be a track dedicated car. I'm keeping the 305 in it pretty much stock for this coming season so i can get use to the car and running down the track. Next year I plan to have a nasty 350 in it. This year will be my "rookie" year and i want to get as much out of the 305 that i can without dumping a lot of money into it. I'm not keeping the 305, I'd rather concentrate my spending into the 350. But i still want decent runs this summer. Ya know what i mean?

Well a converter that will work well with a mostly stock 305 will be far different than a converter that will work well for a heavily modded 350.

you'll get bored with a stock 305 before you're done with your first day. They're also not very consistent. Depending on how the next few months go for me financial-wise, I MIGHT look at unloading my zz4 and TH400 combination. They're built to be a mostly strip sometimes streetable combo. Not terribly fast, low-mid 13s consistently, and if someone could dedicate some more tuning time to it than I can right now, it will easily be in the 12s. the TH400 is already race built with a reverse manual valve body and B&M shifter, zz4 is bored .030 with JE pistons, a .509 lift cam from GM performance and MSD 6AL. If it's something you'd be interested in, but not for a little while, I'll keep you in mind, as im not sure about selling because it would probably destroy me :(

I'll have my 305 into the 13s and maybe 12s this year :)

If that combo got stuffed into a nice light, prepped 3rd gen unlike the land barge you have it in it would prolly go 12's as is. :razz:

So, you guys are saying don't waste my time with the 305? And i guess Ron's getting those heads i told him about and spray maybe? 12s with a 305? You'll need about 100 shot or more to touch 12s

i didnt know people raced in nj:mrgreen:

I found out more people raced than I though once I strayed beyond the demolition derby scene.

Lets just say, with the weight of my car, i wont need too much HP to hit 12s

haha yea i just opened up a few more horses yesterday(free mod), HUGE difference

Did you get a hold of some fiberglass and lexan? How much does it weigh?

I was thinking about tearing into the car pretty soon

We'll see how this season goes. Hit a road block with what I want to do this year depending on my next place I move to.

ahhh dont leave us!!!

Oh I won't be leaving south jersey trust me.
