Some may laugh at this but this is the way I look at it.Don't worry about the cost just save and buy as you can, if your worried about cost you don't need a z -car cause it is going to be like your next new kid to take care of..may take you longer to build but it will be right....If I had to guess what I've got in mine it would be almost $20k...thats $12-14k in engine and drivetrain,but I can jump in the car drive it around town and still run 9.00 @ 150 mph plus.....

Ok here we go,doesn't have the LS1 in it anymore, it has a small block 434 with afr heads,10 to 1 pump gas street motor, 850 carb and bunch more.Still has stock half shafts and this are oem out of anther car i have for parts.:burnout:60' are around 1.45-1.50 the best has been a 1.39.?.?

Still has the stock R-200 setup..just welded the gears up and let it eat!!!!!

1973

I have stock rear springs that I cut a round or two off and moved the mount up.For the tires they are M/T radial 255/60/15..Not bad for a pump gas street car...don't forget its FOR SALE!!!!

Watch this

Couple of passes at the track..

Does anyone have the driveshaft adapter number for the v-8 swap..Has anyone found it any other place besides JTR ?

Hey guys lose a u-joint this weekend at the drag strip,so know i've got to build a new driveshaft....the shaft i had came with the car and i always thought it my be too long,, Does anyone know how long there drive-shaft is???

can you post a couple of shot of that grill? what year dodge grille did you use?

Here are some pics of the headers on my car.

Sorry for no pictures of the headers but i'll try and get them tomorrow.Its been a long 2 weeks swapping from a LS1 back to a old school sbc.But it was worth it!!!!! new best time,,well for the 1/8 that is...made about 6-7 passes and finnaly got a race...60'-1.29 1/8-5.6107 @ 124 mph...now next week we go for the 1/4 mile.......

i'll get some pictures this weekend..on the passenger side where the lower control arm brace rod comes back ,i had to cut 1/8 to 1/4 of the treads off.

The part number is 520-2243 in the Jegs book. They are in the frame headers and not fender well headers. Try are 1 3/4 and full lenght.My set up is not the jtr or scrab, its 50/50....With the jtr set up i think you would have more room...Best $550 i've spent.......
