Guy your pics are down.....cant see em. Loren, thanks for chiming in!!! Terry

Thanks guys. All I know is it is House of Kolor three stage paint job. Base, Candy and clear coat. I have the paint codes at work, Ill post when I get there today. Yeah its unbelievable in the sunlight. I wonder if they make that in blue? Im gonna paint my next project that color I think.... Loren are you out there? Terry

Heres my BBC396 280z.. Terry

OK OK....I get the credit for this one...instead of featured ride, how about....FEATURED PRIDE? Original, personal and fitting no? Terry This Month's Featured Pride Terry's 1975 396 Big Block Chevy 280Z!!!

I used to go thru R180s like cake when I was running them. back in the 80s I had an L28 with Mikunis and headers etc and 5 speed. Probably 200 HP at best and broke them pretty regularly, so I would say dont do it unless you have another swap out soon... Terry

Ahhhhh now I understand...NO2 and turbo. Got ya! Very quick... Terry

LMAO...your right , it does look tiny! Thats some funny crap....my eyes are watering...must be the camera angle or those guys are actually giants from another planet that decided to stuff thier V8 into the Z....hahahahaha.... Terry

Im sorta late but Thanks Jersey! Also congrats on the 12.0...thats just amazing.....11s are there! I just cant wait to get back, if only there were good jobs in San Angelo......not!!! Terry

Are you spraying? Cool vid! Terry

Hey Loren! Hows the car coming along? Great to see you lurking the boards. And yes the color on the BBC 396Z is just simply awesome. I got more coments in one day driving than I did all year on my black car..... Loren I need to ask you a favor...Im gonna PM ya! Terry

Hey wait a minute.......haha.

Damn I had the same problem with my old tranny and I believe ZFAN did too at one point. I yanked that B**** out of there and replaced it with a new one and higher stall and MAJIC happened!!! .5 in the 1/4 by just matching the convertor to my cam profile... Terry

A couple of reasons, the weight is one and the heads are stock on the 396 so its def just a cruiser at this point. A decent set of heads would really light her up but BB heads AFR are like 3K plus!!!! Hell I can get a entire 383 short block for that. Dont get me wromg the BBZ is awesome and has a wow factor like no other but Id rather have that gravitational pull in the pants from a 383 with less weight and a little more room in the engine bay. I have always been an auto guy as well,,,something about touch and go and just hold on. Other than that there is no reason really. However I may just swap a 454 in the future too....who knows! Having something rare and unique is also cool. Terry

In my experience on the carb setting, I would not go beyond 7PSI. I had many problems will flooding by doing so. It likes 6 PSI all day but 7 is doable without any problems. Also I like the return regulator system much better than dead head. More work but better setup IMHO. Terry

Well I wish i was home. I have a T56 that I will let go for a built 700R4. I just dont like manuals...getting to old I guess. Its in my BBC 396 Z. Well maybe it will be a better trade in 3 to 5 years lol.....it will be in storage at least that long......booo. Oh I may have the 396 complete with mounting cradle also for sale in the future.....I really want to put a 700R4 and 350 or 383 in her.... Terry

1 front 1 rear please..... Terry

HaHa got me...

Sorry so late...yeah in Angelo and they are super cool. Really no rules just fun... http://www.sanangelodragway.com Terry

Hey I got better advice....just dont stinkin go to a country where theres trouble.... Terry

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! Thats some funny SSSH!T T

Mikelly, I had thought about doing that in the past! Good idea! Terry

Damn guys wish I was home. Im from San Angelo. I ran at Wall Dragway every month. I wanted to go to Abilene for the 1/8th but never did. Hey there is a blue 350Z twin turbo in Abilene that came down to Wall one weekend. We lined up three times and I wasted him each time....He did run a 12 though and that was pretty good considering he probably weighed 3700 pounds. When I get back we need to get a meet going....I may be back for a while next summer.... Terry

Link doesnt work...

Its all in the launch! See your times going down each time your 60 foot got better! A 1.77 and your in! What tires you running? Terry
