Finally after all the issues I got it back going again. And I was very surprised that the nitto drag radials are doing a pretty good job hooking it up. Just in time for some buick vs. ford action. :3gears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKDFN82DTj0
nice . time to dust some fords! broke my first part today. pushrod through the rocker arm. stamped steel. got it fixed already. as weird as it sounds i was happy to break something.
just got my beast on the road again thing pulls like a freight train had some issues with oversized lifter bores thanks to buickv8 got the issue solved ran 11.51 @120 first time out hooked up great on the new drag radial by nitto working with 465 " with billet rotating assembly and main caps running just under 10.5 to 1, ta performance 510 cam, spx intake, holley 1150, 2 1/4" custom exhaust with 4" cut outs I renamed her the beast sure is fun to have some serious muscle love my buick
Well, ran this car at the Buick Vs. Ford at thunder valley. Best pass was a 10.71 @ 126 mph with a 1.58 60'. If i wasn't running on some damn narrow drag radials i might have gotten even more into the 10s
Do you have a pic. I am thinking of cloning the GSX also and would love to see some that are finished
I need to make a road trip up to see you and your dad, check out you sweet rides and see if you have anything I need and vice versa.
Here are a few pictures for you Chuck. We have a bunch. I am going to paint my convertible with GSX stripes also. Don, You need to come up here some time. That would be great.
That's great Chuck. Same guy that painted the red car will do my yellow 72 convertible. He's a good old friend, and does great work for us. It sure is fun watching Tyler drive this car up through the lanes at the race track with all the chassis drag cars, with Tyler in a full weight Buick with street tires and mufflers. This red car has earned a lot of respect amongst those "race" cars.
