After some careful thought I decided to not use that LS1 because it was on the edge of blowing up, so I found a local LS6 low mileage shortblock to swap in.

Got the car all put together and did some local test and tune at the Local autoX (IMG:http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/n2sking/IMG_5414_zps6fae74a3.jpg) This post has been edited by Beach Cruiser: Nov 6 2014, 03:46 PM |

Here's the "money shot" that my friends wife took. I should be getting all the hi res pictures from the track photographer sometime next week. It doesn't look like it, but running about 165 mph here!

IMO it is awesome to see these older cars transformed into a autox/RR car. I would LOVE to own one as a race toy some day.
Keep up the good work, and keep posting pics of this thing! |

Best part is I didn't even harm my Plywood splitter! guy in front of me checked up early and I was running a lot faster than him, Locked up the right front and we all knows what happens after that!
Here's the Money shot! (IMG:http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/n2sking/074A1559_zps4c603a83.jpg) |

(IMG:http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff356/n2sking/DSC_1078_zpsb8c99b66.jpg) I have a video of me running my 71 Trans Am down the front straight at TWS at about 140 (I limited my RPM to keep the stock rods inside the block) that was taken from the garage area. It didn't look that fast on video, didn't feel that fast in the car.... until you try to slow down for turn 1 onto the road course!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) Nice pic. Beautiful ride. |
