Build thread of the Red Rocket
 

Here are some pics of work being done.
Today was stripping the car. Pulled all the wiring out from under the hood. Will not be going back in since the car will be wired so no wires are seen and a painless fuse block will be in the car.
We also installed the manual rack.

Build plan is
427 ci resleeved LS2 From Virginia Speed
TEA/TFS 235cc 6 bolt heads with upgraded exhaust valves and springs
Precission 88mm X275 legal turbo
Truck manifolds
T-400 tranny built by RPM with transbrake ect
Yank PT3400 converter
Midwest 9", in the car but will be upgraded to a spool and 40 spline axles
Strange brakes all around
non- power master cylinder
fuel tank from Nasty Performance
80-120lb injectors
Meth injection
Super Victor intake with 90mm TB setup. (105mm was too touchy)

SYA bars and front motor plate from Madman

Wheels TBD with 28" Hoosers

Please keep this thread without the BS.

Crap that was pulled out so far.
Alot of stock stuff will be for sale.

Nice start Don!

Kick Ass!!! How is that Rack? think it will be a mofo to turn the wheels?

It will have shinnys on it. Dropping a ton of weight too.

sooooo neked... :drool:

and with her tops off, can't wait till she gets stuffed and ridden like a mechanical bull!!!


going with any kind of sound dampening inside or just going to make sure the earplugs are in before the helmet goes on? lol

With a Turbo the exhaust won't be that loud. It will get a nice, light carpet.

I'd like to get the car to 3000-3100lbs.

Looking good man.

Ya know after having to replace my ps pump for the 3rd time in 3yrs a manual rack is sounding real good.

A little spray bomb underneath now that it is all washed up.

Nice! What manual rack is it? I did under the tank when i had it out. One of these days i will paint the rest lol
