Some pics of the pontiac 455 in the z. Have some bugs to work out before it goes to the track.

Thanks for the info, Thats an old pic with the SBC. I havent started the 455 yet, but soon. the tubing is a kit from S&W racecars. Its not pretty but it works. Wont let me use the pic I want.

Yes they are a stock strut. This is a low buck second time around project. Spent too much and took to long the first time around. I lost focus and built the fun right out of it. The 455 has brought back the intrest, but it must be cheep. The chevette springs I think are what im looking for. Jegs has them for $30 a pair. Im happy with that. Are the lowered springs the same height unsprung as the stock or are they shorter?

Theres only 100# differance between my 400 sbc and the pontiac 455. I had no problem getting around with the small block so, the moog springs should be fine. I`ll try them uncut first if I can compress them enough.

Thanks for the reply, I just found moog 6558 in the search. Has anyone installed them uncut? I need the height not only for the motor weight/oil pan but also to clear the front spoiler for using a tow dolly to the track. 472 cadillac would be awsome to have. I had a 500 once but there was no aftermaket support for it. Wish I kept it, times have changed.

I`m putting a pontiac 455 in my Z for dragracing. The engine is heavier then SBC and has a deep oilpan on it. My Z was lowered somtime in its life and I need a stiff spring for the front. Are there any other springs I could use from car makers that will fit the struts? Mazda for example. Thanks,Mark

Here`s my moms dog, a mini. I suggested naming her Dachshund 240z but she went with Samantha.
