Those engine pics remind me of whats out in the garage awaiting some major TLC.
The first thought that came to my mind was "Those tires won't last to long on this combo." Nice car. Dan

Ja - You ought to ride in my 64 GTO. It has 4.33's behind a 428. Someday I may have to drop them down a bit. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> LOL, I'd love to ride in your '64!! 4.33s huh... I couldn't imagine trying to cruise on the highway with those... then again, your '64 is primarily set up for strip, right? |

Welcome !!!. You will get great advise here. Sounds like you are on the right track. I second OMT's opinion, get the Dougs. I have a 66GTO with Hooker SC's and I HATE EM. PITA. All headers are though. Personally I would not go over 3.55 with the rear, if you want a little more performance just up the stall a little on your converter. If you were near Atlanta I have a 8.2/10bolt/3.23/posi/4-pinion type rear that is excellent. Came from a 69GTO. I ran it for 3 years in my 66. Just got a built up 12 bolt/Moser axles etc. E-Mail me if interested. Not sure how to get it to you though. Goodluck-JimT <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hey D-Jim... do you know how much different a GTO rear axle is from an F-body axle? I'm right next door to ya (statewise)! |

EnergyFX -
Don't let the pics throw you. The car is actually 2.5X the size of a normal car... I have to stand on the seat to see over the steering wheel. What appears to be the garage is actually a warehouse. You know what they say... everything's bigger in Texas, except my wife of course... LOL

EnergyFX, A bodies and F bodies are very different. Used to be able to get rubber in 4 gears on Rivers Ave, bet Charleston has grown. I had an Aunt that lived off Meeting St. Beautiful city you have there, especially the gardens on the Ashley River. Oh yea, except for that Paper Mill smell-LOL almost forgot! Goodluck-JimT

Ja - The car was originally set up to street race. However, I did drive it to Las Vegas, which is a 600 mile round trip.

If you need a rear end for your car I can build one. It would be an 8.5 10 bolt instead of the 8.2. These hold up very well. My father runs one in his 64 GTO with 3.23's and it will run mid 11's. I live in Plano. You can call me at 972-578-0012 if you are interested.

Jim... er... JimT... er... D-Jim, (jeez, too many Jim T's in this thread!!)
D-Jim... we still catch quite a bit of rubber on Rivers! And if I thought I could get away with it I would blow up that damn paper mill!! Course... it would take me a while to stockpile enough explosives! That's a rather big plant!! Jim Taylor... 600 mile road trip on 4.33s?? WOW!! Did you have to creep to keep the RPMs low? |
