I have been building this cat for nearly a year now. This is my first attempt at a full tube chassis car. It's going to be powered with a 545 alcohol engine. I have not totally decided on heads yet. Here are some photos. Will add more later.
I like your corral floated in grill space. A few ounces to add a lot of style....worth it.
My 70 was my first stick build, though now a little dated from the 90's. A few minor hiccups, but still goes straight and have had little issue even though a plum bob and angle finder was used with my "flat table" being shims and wood blocks built at ride height. Best of luck, a home build can do very well in my opinion. I'm still pondering cutting body off to upgrade to new SFI 25.x class chassis.
Beautiful! Give us details, man :laugh:.....What did you end up doing with the engine for heads and everything else? What tans? And what did it end up running? Love the car, great work.....
Engine is a 13:1 545 TFS 325cnc headed. Lunati solid roller 272-282 @.50 with .738 lift. Victor intake 1150 dominator wit a big shot plate underneath. Trans is a well built powerglide with a 5500 convertor. 4.30 rear gears 32x14.5 radial slick. Car weighs in at 2840# with me in the seat. So far shifting at 6000 launching at 3800 the car ran a 9.47 @ 139 mph in 4800 DA air. It was also extremely lean. Will
Be taking it to an 1/8 mile track this weekend with a better tune.
WOW!! That's a very cool machine you have made. Nice job. I'm looking forward to more posts.
