Default 78 project

here are a few pictures of a 78 that is being finished while I'm gone. i have some better pictures, but the files are too big for this site. that and the Internet over here is slow. when we talk about a mouse, it is not what you use to move the pointer, it's what powers Afghan's networks.

bought on here as an unfinished project, no motor or trans. body is VERY solid, no rust that i can find. i had a 78 400 that was built by Dave Hillard(1050goat)sitting in my garage, Jim(his Dad) went thru a 350 turbo for me, so it should run pretty good. 400+.030, zero decked, trw pistons, tomahawk forged rods, comp 268XE cam, 1.52 comp rockers, 6X4 heads milled, 9.2-1 compression, performer intake, 78 800 cfm Qjet, ram air III exhaust manifolds, true dual 2 1/2 exhaust, 350 turbo, L88 converter(approx 2000 stall), 3.42 posi. still debating tires. either 255x60x15 all the way around, or 255 up front and 275x60x15 on the rear. depends on how it sits once we get it together and get it on the ground. will be using the factory 15x8 snowflakes, but polished and painted gold instead of gray in the center spokes. mostly urethane bushings, new front springs, and a set of old rear springs that were in good shape off of a TA i parted years ago.
