Hey old man, it's probably one of your old everyday socks gumming up the works.

Yes on keeping thread going.

Yes. Put the 301 and trans in an 80 T/A with a 4bbl. You won't have to work so hard this time. ;-)

Not true stocker, but here's our '87 Pontiac Hooptie. Stock 305 SBC, small Melling cam and headers, runs 14.2 and is VERY LOW maintenance.

I've never stopped thinking about this thread. Hope it continues. I'm 5 years older and hopefully wiser, and ready to try again, using this blueprint...your Dual jet experiences may come in handy as well...

From what I understand, it's getting done. Just not by me.

It (hopefully) served its purpose and has gone to project car heaven.

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
 
You had a 4bbl. GP before the project car, right?

Yup. It's been sitting on the side of the garage for about 5-6 years.

Is that the one you had run previously?
Had the cardboard piece by r/f bumper filler.
I remember it from Cecil Divisional.
I think you beat a copo in it first round? Am I remembering right?
It’s been a while. I had some good pics but in old computer on a shelf now.

I spent the day in the shop taking apart the rear and pulling out the power brakes to change it over. As there aren't very many manual brake S-10s laying around anymore, I'm making up a few pieces to convert the GP. Hopefully tomorrow I'll take some pics of what's needed to SAFELY do the job.
I scored a good used 4.56 gearset and a 2 series posi unit with spacer for $100 bucks so that should pretty well get this thing rolling. Now I know that it's not the optimal thing to use but the price is right and it's only going to (hopefully) be a high 14 second car that doesn't weigh a whole lot so maybe it'll live a while.
I got a pair of 15X 8 wagon wheels and a pair of 15x 4 sparetire wheels out of the wheel pile at a local salvage yard(they don't like to be called junk yards anymore). I have an old set of 8.5x 26 M/T slicks that I won't use again and dragged home a pair of 26" tall M/T fronts from along side of the M/T trailer a couple of years ago so, after buying a can of black paint, I'm set with wheels and tires for $35.
As it's snowing like crazy outside, I'm hoping to get a fair amount done in the next couple of days.
Going back through this post almost 10 years later and I am SO glad this went the direction it did and didn't turn into a "class racer build". Is this car still around?

Depends what you would consider being "around." The car still exists, but one would have to take a trip to the local Junkyard to see the car. It's pretty much just a shell at this point. The Pennsylvania winters were not kind to this car, so it was scrapped due to some structural safety hazards.

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
 
I still have the pa. title for this car if anybody interested!
also it is open enrollment for membership in the "BALL HONERS DRAG RACING CLUB"!....LET ME KNOW!;)
