86 Cutlass g-machine

[86Cutlass383SR]

My name is Doug Gulley and I have an 86 Cutlass I'm building into a Pro Touring driver. It's a long term project.

I'm building a 383 SBC with Accel SuperRam, 58mm tb, 30# SVO inj., AFR 190 heads. I'm currently deciding whether to use hypereutectic or forged pistons and which cam to run. I have a Comp 218*/224* .495/.502 112* hyd roller... deciding on if I should got to a 224*/230* hyd roller or jump to a 230*/236* solid roller. Hmmmm....

Tranny is a Tremec Aftermarket T56 with a Spec Stage 3 clutch and mechanical linkage.

For the front suspension I'm running Moog 5662 (IROC 702#) coils and the IROC 36mm swaybar and XH steering box. GW upper arms and GW bushings in the stock lower arms. B-body spindles will mount red powdercoated C5 calipers with drilled/slotted rotors.

The rear suspension pieces are yet to be determined but will be upgraded stock type parts. LS1 rear disc will also be added.

Wheels and tires are yet to be bought but I have my heart set on Vintage Wheels Works V40's in 17x8 & 17x9-9.5's with 275/40 & 245/45 tires. Backspacing yet to be determined.

The exterior will look sorta "old school" with black paint, 86 442 rear spoiler, 442 style 'glass hood and updated sidepipes.

I'll have lots of questions along the way but nothing members cna't handle. Maybe I can answer a few along the way.

Pro Touring rules!!!
