and this is what happens when you get new tires and find out you have an open diff.

like i said its a work in progress. i would love some helpful tips in setting up the suspension and new parts for around the car like differentials and body work tips. and the electrical is all kinds of messed up, like so

yeah, everything is manually wired to switches all around the car, but it runs. so enough talking, tell me what yall think?
 
welcome....you'll soon discover there are at least a dozen or more Chevy V8 swaps here, many more that don't know about Turbobricks....they range from bone stock all iron motors to newer all aluminum motors, at least one twin turbo'd....

might want to consider converting to a more modern EFI one of these days :)
 
I like it alot! Now getye some slicks and nitrous and start hustling her on the street ala The Fast and the Furious!
 
my friend and i are sharing a sn, he made the sn, but its my car. so ill go hunt those down and delete them. and i plan on keeping it NA for a while till i decide which way i wanna go, turbo or blower. i personally think a volvo with a blower stickin outta the hood would be downright intimidating, but a stealthy TT kit would be nice too. oohhh the choices... too bad im broke :D
 
yeah, carbs are WAY easier to tune and alot cheaper to replace if something goes wrong than an EFI system. also, i never have to worry if the computer is malfunctioning. if it doesnt run right, its one of like 10 things. with the computerized system, its alot more complex imho

You obviously have very little experience with proper fuel injection.
