orange71 · 12-19-2009, 09:16 PM

The motor is a fuel injected sbc. The tubing you see is just for the intake, no super charger yet. i will try to get more pics up tomorrow when i borrow a digi camera. Thanks for the compliments!

Beautiful build, can't wait for some more pics!

What suspension mods did you do to the front?

orange71 · 12-19-2009, 10:31 PM

The front has a porterbuilt crossmember with boxed upper and lower arms and Qa1 shocks, The rear is backhalved and about 90% Tig welded

292farmer · 12-19-2009, 10:59 PM

the motor bay looks so clean neat! very nice build

brian69longbed · 12-26-2009, 08:54 PM

you should post your control arms. did you get them back yet?

orange71 · 12-26-2009, 09:18 PM

No, not yet. still waiting on my buddy to finish machining the cross shafts down. I did drill the spindles for the uniballs and got the frame ready for the new shock mounts.

**Hart_Rod** · 12-26-2009, 09:19 PM

That's sweet. Can't wait for better pictures.

orange71 · 12-29-2009, 11:02 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys, I save should have some pics soon of the upper and lower control arms that i just had designed!

orange71 · 12-29-2009, 11:04 PM

The plumbing is all 3/8x.035 stainless tubing. It paid off working for a distributer for this type of stuff!

orange71 · 01-02-2010, 06:14 PM

Well i finally scored a trans cover at the junk Yard! Just had to fill in some holes from the 3 speed and some from the previous owner. Patch peices were tig welded with silicon bronze rod and cut out on a bandsaw Name: tunnel.jpg
