oh happy day....

your car looks funny as hell with the pontiac TA rims on it.......i used to have some on my TA till i got me some old school mags.

i love these wheels (plus i got them for free), i used to have t-type looking wheels, but i gave them to a buddy of mine with a '80 Malibu

Econo-Box

I got some turd gen Z28 wheels that you should buy. I think they would look better than the TA rims. Z28 rims look good on almost anything.

i'm cheap

i know you're excited about the flanges and all, but wait until they're welded up to a manifold to post them, please

malibutwinturbo

sorry, i see your point

also they won't be welded to a manifold/header...you'll see once i start the fabrication in a few weeks

well can we at least get some pics of the whip and the current setup before she gets molested by boost..........

and good luck as well on boosting it....carb'd, EFI, what are we talking here......

pics in my first thread "Wassap HMT" with a few stats, the car has a ton of other mods, & been thru over a dozen engine/trans/rear combinations

but basically is a mild '83 305 truck motor, few bolt-ons that were laying around, ATI Trans & converter, ran 14.37@94 with the old 3.08 open rear, ripping a 2.03 60ft, got 3.73 posi now, should yank some 13's before i ---- it up, lol

that reminds me, i need to adjust the valves today...hitting the track tomorrow for the last time before boost

gonna be blow-thru carb'd set up BTW

sounds fun with a 305....but why not a 350? they are dime a dozen. i just put a rebuilt 79 police interceptor impala 350 in my TA with vortec heads. i shooting for 300-400 N/A out of this combo. i do have some high compression stock pistons installed as well. motor is very strong, but havent taken it to the track. its a open dif with 3.23 gears in the rear backed by a th350 trans in place of the 700r4 it came with. gonna get a new intake and carb soon. factory speced 350 that came in the TA's are rated at 240-260 HP, i should be pushing 300-320 out of it right now. comsidering this isnt with headers/exhuast/intake/carb, dunno what it has all i know is the bitch moves and moves fast even with the 295's in the rear.........
