Sweeet!
Years ago, 1980's when I was racing built up a couple of rock crushers. Easy to do with proper tools.
@ThatShadyVandal , what is the install?
What do you mean? What's it going in?
Yup
A 1969 corvette
I think I just wet myself....very nice!
Heh
@ThatShadyVandal congrats man!
You know, in another month, I'll have had this project for a year
Great project; good to take time, lots of pics, making sure everything is correct.
How's the engine? Numbers?
Oh, this thing is so far from original
Yeah?
Engine is a cobbled together 350 with a 1970 block, mid 60s heads, winters foundary manifold, headers, holley double pumper
The transmission is out of a 1970 car
Fenders have been flared
But that's okay, I'm going to build a hotrod out of it
saw the fenders; everything is perfect! Making it yours.
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!
3 speed was all we needed
Sometimes I'll describe my M21 to folks as the "rock crusher's quiet brother"
👍
The ratios are identical
Alloy is slightly weaker though
things change; you'll still get lots of life out of it
Oh yeah, I'm not worried about it at all
This transmission is so overbuilt now
That billet midplate you see in there is a pretty sweet part for 90 bucks, too
indeed
1987
Too bad there aint any women like that around here, or I'd be set for life
one of the drivers I did a lot of photo work for after I stopped racing 🙂
This was about the only photo that could be posted; was a wild shoot!
Heh. I see what you're getting at
Calling it a night man. Good chatting with you. Cheers!
Thanks, you too, be easy
> Too bad there aint any women like that around here, or I'd be set for life
@ThatShadyVandal I agree
Off road vehicles.....
