The Infidel Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Bought the car in March 09. Mostly stock, had a 5spd swap and a hydraulic head and some sort of OEM Honda seats. Car was exactly what I was looking for. A straight bodied car with decent paint. Totaled, I paid 2800. Which, in my eye's was a bargain. The goal is the obvious SBC swap. Although Id love to drop a 3.1 in the car, it comes down to dollar per hp and the small block wins. The build, although id like it to be in asap, is going to be a steady but slow pace build. I am by no way an expert when it comes to V8's, so I want to do it right the first time. I want a block between 350 and 383. That might seem broad but I know my budget will not handle a 400ci at this time. Aluminum heads and a mild cam are a must along with a Victor jr. intake manifold. As for a carb I am undecided at the moment of writing this first post. As for drive train, I am currently at a cross road between manual or auto. I do plan on taking the car to the drags, so a th350 would be expectable. But this being a street car and I being road racing enthusiast my mind screams manual transmission! It would be nice to ride/drive in each respected set up to make my own decision (if you live in the bay area please send me a PM!). The rear end although will be a Q45 r230, that will handle anything I throw at it. On to the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Infidel Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 04-21-09 Bought two sets Q45 diff's with axles. I had no intention of buying two set ups but one was a great deal and local so I couldnt pass it up. Should be up for sale/trade shortly.
