wagon project (http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c3/dwaynes69bb/Wagon.shtml)
Well, I've officially started on converting this remnants of a '68 Pontiac Tempest Wagon into a Touring machine.
I've updated the website with the progress so far.
I've got the drivetrain sorted out. I've got a nice lil 350 sbc and a 700r4 tranny from a '90 Iroc which is being beefed-up at the moment at Carolina Transmission in NC.
I have a fresh Chevy 12 bolt rear with a new Eaton posi unit with 3.73 gears. The rear came from a '71 Monte Carlo and has the sway bar and boxed lowers with Poly bushings. That, with a decent set of shocks will have to do in the rear for a while until the rest of the car is sorted out.
I have a set of 17" x 9.5" ZR-1 Corvette wheels that I'm going to try to use.
Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.
Think I can turn this sled into a decent performance cruiser?
On a budget?
A low budget? :poke:
I'll try to keep the website updated.
Later.
