dr_hunt Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Now that the paint is done. It's time for a new heartbeat. The little alky 357 went swimming in the ditch so I decided to tear it down and bore and stroke it to 426". New eagle 4 inch stroke crank. Bore and hone to 4.125", new Mahle 14.6:1 forged pistons, new custom ground isky 4/7 swap roller with matching springs and we are off to the races here in the next few weeks. Hoping the bigger inches and some hillborn alky injection will yield some 9 second time slips up here in the thin air and some 8 second time slips at the next sez.

jbk240z Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 So, did you blow a head gasket or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 No, I loaned the alky 357 to a buddy for a mud bog, afterwards he got drunk, drove down the ditch raising hell and took it swimming without any trunks on. Totally submerged the engine. LOL! So, all I needed was an excuse anyway, now I have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason4300 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 woohoo! that's what I thought when I saw that pic. That's one mean looking Z. Love the grill, I think I'm going to try and replicate that at some point. You have a thread somewhere detailing how you made it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretchen/jason Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yea man some more pics . Id like a better pic of the hood myself . Stock hood with a fiberglass cowl scoop yes ? And what is the grill made out of very nice . Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Is this little guy happy or what??!!! I think the car looks better in this shot. Oh, and there's the A-hole in the back Hood shot Yup, stock hood, scoop attached and riveted. I think it looks ok. Stance of the car is too high, going to work on that next along with about everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 much better w/ the pics! Looks good. what color is that? seems like you have quite a bit of metallic in there no? That is Kandy Apple Red on a Blue base, we picked a tangerine base, but oh well. Yeah, we opted for no metalflake, but ended up with that too. Good thing we didn't want black pearl huh!

pparaska Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 ...I think the car looks better in this shot. Umm. There's a car in the picture? But I really like the front end treatment - oh - the car's too! No, seriously, the grill and bumperless look really came off well on the car, and I like the color too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
