George Is your rear end narrowed? How did you get those wide wheels in front and back? I have 17x8 Coddingtons and the fronts rub in the right conditions - tight turns, going into driveways etc. What size tires and wheels are you running? Thanks
Nope not narrowed 18x8 in front 18x10 in the back with 295s i rolled inner quarter lip on it and shaved the wheel moldings,12 bolt out of a 67 chevelle.
I finally got to take my 6 speed GSX clone for a test drive today after 4 years of building it. Here are some pics :
Well as far as suspension goes I used the jeep grand cherokee steering box, eibach 2" lowering springs, taller upper and lower ball joints, bilstien shocks, 1&1/4" front sway bar, hellwig adjustable rear. The tires are 245/45/18 in front and 295/40/18 in back. I do have some rubbing issues up front so I will probably have to raise the front a bit. The engine is a 455 stage 1 with a ta cam, ported heads, b4b intake withe m/t super scavenger headers. Shifted by a tremec t56 magnum.
It's one of Duane's spoilers.....not available anymore. To solve my spoiler clearance issues I have decided to take an aftermarket ABS one, section it 1-2 inches shorter, reinforce with fiberglass, and install in place of this one. It is just too nice to have on ther knowing it will get destroyed. I will save it for another future project. ---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ---------- Nice!
Help! I have a 70 custom 350 hi-comp sp motor, recent popping noise through the carb and suspecting cam issues I removed intake to find 3 cam lobes worn bad, 2 slightly warped push rods,6 damaged rocker arms. Motor needs to come out to do cam? of coarse it does, now at this point everything should be rebuilt!! not sure if I want all the work now either (stupid me bought all kinds of TA Performance parts $1500.00 worth) what to do????
Motor doesn't need to come out for cam change but you may want to actually ask questions about this in the SBB thread area. Plenty of cam change threads in there: http://www.v8buick.com/forumdisplay.php?8-Small-Block-Tech
That's a beautiful car Scott. I really enjoyed watching you drive the wheels off that thing at RTTH. I can't get enough of that waste gate sound. The only way that I have found to get the full size pics is to upload them to another site like photbucket or flicker and then paste the 'IMG" link(you copy this link off of the photobucket site) to the photo in your message. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks Steve! It was great to see you throw that Buick around the course too, It's always great to see Buick's representing at a Pro-touring event or any autocross for that matter... We will try our hardest to get the autocross to happen at BG next year, Hope to see you there if we do! BTW: I got the pictures figured out, Thank You!
Oh hell Scot W's GNS Performance Buick is here....:laugh: I'm with Steve it's great to see you over here, and showing your "TEST RIDE"..... with that new suspension , I heard it " Sticks like a B--ch" in those curves.:bglasses:
