I've been posting for a while with different problems and ideas that I want to do and thought it was time for a build thread.
Generally speaking, I want to keep the body stock and save the modifications for the drive train and suspension.
Kind of wish I'd taken a picture before I started taking the car apart, but no matter, I've got pictures a plenty to post of work in progress.
At a high level, I'm rebuilding the 348 as a 431. I'm fuel injecting it and strongly leaning towards a ProCharger for forced induction. I don't need a lot of high end power, I just want a little help off the line.
I'm putting a Jag Independent Rear suspension. I'm looking for ride comfort and corner hugging.
I'll probably be using a 4L80 transmission since the brain box for the Fuel Injection can control any of the GM electronic transmissions.
Since I'm going with Mike's big ass brake kit, I'll be going 18 inch rims. I haven't decided on which rim/tire combo yet, but I'll post pics when I pick some out.
Hope this is a good read and hopefully this turns out as well as I want.
