Hi,
I have been creepin around here for awhile and finally made some time to post. My name is Jeff
I live up in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin...
I am currently in the middle of two projects...
The first is a 74 formula firebird (The beater)
Which will be a nice car when done...It will be my daily summer driver. It has a pontiac 400 soon to be .04 over. forged TRW pistons. CAT rods, Ported 6X heads, edelbrock intake and this spring I am adding a throttle body injection set up. Should be an easy 400hp at the crank...
Not bad for a daily driver :-). As far as the rest.
It has Global west lowering springs. 17" Centerline billet wheels. a Tremec TKO 5speed, Factory rear disc posi rear end from a WS6 Trans Am.
Then there is project Blackbird....
It is a 1976 Trans Am...
That is being built as a Viper slayer.
It is ever changing as new things come out...
Or if I run across a really sweet deal..
Such as...I originaly purchase a set of American racing hopsters (17x9.5"275 Fronts and 17x11" 315 rears) But then found a set of CCW's Classic 3pc. polished 18x9.5" 275 fronts and 18x13" 335 rears wraped with michelin pilot sports for $1500 and they look like new! So I might use the american racing wheels with race rubber for track days.
I have a currie ford 9" with the polished alum center section that was a bolt in for 2nd gens.
But,With the new rear meats I will have to mini tub and might go to a 3 link so this might be up for sale.
This car will also have a 400 but..
Edelbrock Alum heads. Eagle rods, Ross pistons,
Full fuel injection with a intercooled supercharger,
Want to have about doulbe the horse power of the other car.
It will be sporting a ZF 6speed trans. I found a couple places on the net that claim they can build these for 750+ ft. lbs of torque :jawdrop:
Has anyone heard anything about the Art Morrison Max G chassis ?....I am thinking if this is the route to go...Full frame and a cage for all that power.
Well, I hope that I didn't bore you rambeling on here...But these cars are too much fun!
