Not yet i would like to have some decent side walls.. Im debating if i i can fit 305s on it.. Otherwise it will be 295s on the back.. Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
Sorry i havent been updating alot.. Car is still in paint. Just ordered some tires today for the 19' im gonna run.. Tire is gonna be a gamble 295/35/19. Other than that i have to wait to get the car back. Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
Tire wise i went by the example of a 69 chevelle since no 68 GS pro touring builds are really arround.. Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
I'll stay with the stock 350 for now)(8-10psi) and will build the other block later when time and budget allows. I want to get it running 1st, have the fuel system set up right, make the right decission on the Efi (fitech or sniper), get a IC setup plumbed most likly AND then go from there. as you know sean i also have my lil 02 Mustang LS build here, wich should become my daily. PS: i also have a buddy in germany who got a 67 lark he bought from the netherlands... WITH A OLDS 403 IN IT!! He want me to build / assemble him a mild 455. For his 67. That will take some of my time as well. // block heads crank are located and freshly machined already.. Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
Well as you know my 350 is not STOCK at all lol.. I just call it stock Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
So while waiting on my GS to come home from paint I thought i get going on the wheels. I got some 19x10 for the back And 19x8,5 in the front CCW Style that i test fitted and the especialy the rears work with a bs of 6 and cutted/rolled lips. Then i got some 295/30/19 Bridgestone potenza tires for a good deal. The tire question was actualy a headache since i have not seen any 68 GS with that kind of setup so i looked up a bunch of 68/69 chevelles or Olds 442s with PRO touring builds and there combos. The result looks promissing Got some buick hubcaps..lol Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
I had those tires on my Corolla XRS and they had really good grip on the pavement. but once you wear them down the rain ability goes away some. I only got about 35000 out of them. I did buy them 2 times. Bake them a couple of times and they will wear out, You'll be buying MT DR's after you burn them to the ground.lol
Its not a daily driver so i dont really mind. Im not planning on driving it in the rain + im in cali Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
"It never rains in California...." until this winter when it didn't bloody stop! Still have 10 feet of snow on either side of my driveway ou:
That's some serious digger gears. I would have gone with a 3.36 posi if I had kept it. You doing Boulevard racing with it?
Lets see.. 1st of all its gonna be a pro touring inspired resto mod. I am in the process of twin turbo the 350' and go Efi tb system. Its not gonna be a race car since ill have a full interior(out of a 04 gto). But it will have some serious power and since i go with a Imter cooler in the CA heat i have the option to realy crank it up if i go forged internals. But for now its gonna be solid 550-600 hp Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk
My old car has a 3.42 gear and a 200R4 and its crazy at 140 MPH on the highway and runs low 11s on low boost.
