First time posting to this site, been browsing for a while now so I thought I'd share my project.

Small Block 400 De-Stroked (377) 11:1 Compression, 4 Bolt Main, Venolia Pistons, Brodix Track 1 Aluminum Heads, Solid Roller, Rev Kit, Super Victor Intake, Demon 750, Griffin Radiator
2 chamber flowmasters w/ x pipe, hooker headers
12 bolt 355 posi rearend,
slide-a-link traction bars (very close to the ground)
ATS spindles, coil overs, close ratio steering box, global west A-arms
ZR-1 Corvette rims, 17x8.5 front 17x11 in rear
Wilwood Disc Brakes in the front so far
Muncie 4 speed,

Dyno’d at 469 RWHP

Interior is mostly good condition stock (for now), Auto Meter gauges in a Covin pod, Sparco steering wheel, roll cage and probably some other misc I am forgetting about.

The remainder of the To Do list consists of:
Corbeau reclining seats, harnesses, CF hood, rear spoiler, TKO500, rear suspension (not set on a brand yet) wilwood disks for the rear, large fuel safe fuel cell, and a nice set of 18s, thinking forgeline or Fikse

That thing looks like it means business! Nice build...
I especially like the cross-brace.

Yeah, right now still getting all the mechanical stuff up graded and worked out so she hasnt seen a good detail in quite awhile.

I have a bad habit of just going over kill on things so that is mainly what all the bracing is for. I like the look of it,but they are functional. The rear bars are adjustable so you can preload the tension on the front clip to stiffin up the chassis if needed and I just liked the look of the big monte carlo bar on it :)
Basically just trying to build something that is comfortable on the track and still feels at home railing through the hills.

The Monte Carlo bar was built from scratch, the adjustable firewall braces were picked up from a local race shop.

I believe it was David's racing products (circle track guys) from Salida Ca.
PTD got them for me, they do alot of stuff on my car for me.
