I'll keep the build updates coming as soon as there is news.

[CPRstreetmachines]

finally had a chance to put some pictures up, one of these days I get caught up


we got started by pulling the fenders off and pulling the engine and trans then went to removing the front suspension since we are going to AJE Racing's front K-member and coil overs.

progress pics for the ones following along

we need to start fresh and this 408 won't cut it...

[CPRstreetmachines]

the AJEracing k-member kit allows us to notch a lot to make room for our big plans

Engine build in process

DART small block 363

wow looks awesome.  i can't wait to see how this comes out

[CPRstreetmachines]

Need to make some corrections I left in. We decided on a Worlds block, even though I wrote in Dart at the top. And we went with a hyd cam. Didn't want ANY issues. talked to local guys that were breaking rockers around town at low RPM's, even with low lash solids. Without the rebound from the spring at high rpm's, figured it was breaking from bouncing off the backside of the cam. We'll still meet our HP goal, just a little more cam.


Shaved the trunk lock hole. You can see a little heat fence around it to minimize heat warping.


All done with the trunk


Some antenna hole shaving


More heat fence with the anntena


And done with it


Some frame sleeving for the K-member bolts


We've got the Fab 9 in, just need to get the calipers on and take some more pics !

[CPRstreetmachines]

Started to mock up the front end, see if a 265 is going to fit up front. hopefully won't have to notch the frame rail.



Pure sex !!

[CPRstreetmachines]

Got it up and level to check where the engine might go. Have to check ride hieght before making it 100% though.


So it's nice and low in there, for now.



Nobody would let us "borrow" a tire, so had to buy used. It's a little taller than what will go on, but for testing purposes, it will be fine. We are going with a 275/35/18. the has the nick name "Steam roller"now



Set the tires in there to take a look. They are taller than they will be again, but just an idea.

[CPRstreetmachines]

Got the engine done finally. Some stout pieces of metal right there.

Driveside subframe connector thru the floor. The only way to FLY !

[CPRstreetmachines]

Got the turbo the other day. Got the rims back from widening. The big turbo is next to a 61mm

[Rajun_Cajun]

Holy crap that turbo looks big! Almost the size of Dustin's head. LOL That car is gonna be sick.

Maybe yall should talk the owner into sending it down to HCM to get lambo doors installed.

~~~ Can you hear the sarcasm?~~~

[CPRstreetmachines]

Some shots of the fender rolling.





Our attempt at a steam roller.

[CPRstreetmachines]

Heres the pan we needed to lower.


Some header pics. You would think with all that room, it would be easy, but noooo. The collector ended up pretty close to the #1 cyl by the time it came out of the turbo.
