Sweeet!

2020-10-11 00:45:21 UTC  

Years ago, 1980's when I was racing built up a couple of rock crushers. Easy to do with proper tools.

2020-10-11 00:46:11 UTC  

@ThatShadyVandal , what is the install?

2020-10-11 00:47:44 UTC  

What do you mean? What's it going in?

2020-10-11 00:47:58 UTC  

Yup

2020-10-11 00:48:11 UTC  

A 1969 corvette

I think I just wet myself....very nice!

2020-10-11 00:48:56 UTC  

Heh

2020-10-11 00:49:06 UTC  

@ThatShadyVandal congrats man!

2020-10-11 00:49:21 UTC  

You know, in another month, I'll have had this project for a year

2020-10-11 00:49:46 UTC  

Great project; good to take time, lots of pics, making sure everything is correct.

2020-10-11 00:50:00 UTC  

How's the engine? Numbers?

2020-10-11 00:50:09 UTC  

Oh, this thing is so far from original

2020-10-11 00:50:36 UTC  

Yeah?

2020-10-11 00:50:37 UTC  

Engine is a cobbled together 350 with a 1970 block, mid 60s heads, winters foundary manifold, headers, holley double pumper

2020-10-11 00:50:46 UTC  

The transmission is out of a 1970 car

2020-10-11 00:50:53 UTC  

Fenders have been flared

2020-10-11 00:51:07 UTC  

But that's okay, I'm going to build a hotrod out of it

2020-10-11 00:51:29 UTC  

saw the fenders; everything is perfect! Making it yours.

2020-10-11 00:51:43 UTC  

Exactly

2020-10-11 00:54:09 UTC  

My favorite 'back in the day'; I was racing '65 Chevelle's and had a spare body. Wound up placing my dirt track 327 4-bolt main in there with one of the rock crushers. Gosh I miss that car!

2020-10-11 00:54:35 UTC  

3 speed was all we needed

2020-10-11 00:55:01 UTC  

Sometimes I'll describe my M21 to folks as the "rock crusher's quiet brother"

2020-10-11 00:55:24 UTC  

👍

2020-10-11 00:56:03 UTC  

The ratios are identical

2020-10-11 00:56:13 UTC  

Alloy is slightly weaker though

2020-10-11 00:56:58 UTC  

things change; you'll still get lots of life out of it

2020-10-11 00:58:56 UTC  

Oh yeah, I'm not worried about it at all

2020-10-11 00:59:04 UTC  

This transmission is so overbuilt now

2020-10-11 00:59:55 UTC  

That billet midplate you see in there is a pretty sweet part for 90 bucks, too

2020-10-11 01:01:14 UTC  

indeed

2020-10-11 01:03:04 UTC

2020-10-11 01:03:38 UTC  

Too bad there aint any women like that around here, or I'd be set for life

2020-10-11 01:04:18 UTC  

one of the drivers I did a lot of photo work for after I stopped racing 🙂

2020-10-11 01:04:51 UTC  

This was about the only photo that could be posted; was a wild shoot!

2020-10-11 01:05:16 UTC  

Heh. I see what you're getting at

2020-10-11 01:06:39 UTC  

Calling it a night man. Good chatting with you. Cheers!

2020-10-11 01:12:43 UTC  

Thanks, you too, be easy

2020-10-11 02:39:15 UTC

@ThatShadyVandal I agree
