A friend and I picked this car up a while back and we are working on it this winter with many upgrades in store. Car came to us with a Powerglide and numerous small problems...we are whittling them down one at a time.
As of this evening these are the completed items:
Complete re-wire of the ignition system -
New MSD distributor and coil -
Altered bracketry for the Moroso water pump -
New 5.14 Richmond gear -
Caltrac's for the rear with Caltrac split leaf springs -
New Moroso front springs -
New shocks on all corners -
Aerospace disc brakes front and rear and light weight master cylinder -
Improved gauge package -
New Champion wheels all around - (I splurged a bit here
)
Just about all problem areas have been addressed save one...Arnett is building us a Metric 200 atm and a ATI convertor will be added as well when it's ready. Come spring we will find out how good a motor we have in the car...can't think of anything else that would hold us back. The car is already very close to the class minimum weight for a 286/350 in E/SA.
