half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 
my paps just got a 7 second chevelle rolling chassis...tubbed like a MOFO , suspension, roll bar, wheelie bars, parachute etc......and i am going to be putting a TT 350 in that bitch. and my question is, do i want to put a 67 camaro full fiberglass body on top or do i want to put half fiberglass front end and a metal back end....for like weight on that back tires....or will i even need to worry about traction problems with tires that are like 2.5-30feet wide? all opions are are wanted!

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 
thats what wheelie bars are for. your main consern is going to be the drivetrain.. and above all else. stoping a 7 second car. go full glass, its easyer to deal with. did it come with a good rear end? pics? i wanna see this beast O0

So he got a chevelle, and you want to put a camaro body on it???? I might be not understanding, but that would be gay. anyway, If you want to go sevens on a small block, a stock chevy block isn't gonna cut it, get an aftermarket block, and you can go big inches. you can get 454 out of a small block, but with boost youd be better off sticking with 427 inches, and I wouldn't worry about traction, with a back halfed car, and a small block. If you want to loose a little weight, get a glass hood and deck lid, you can even get fenders and doors but they look like poop

a rolling chassis isnt a 7 second car....unless you are pushing REALLY fast

7 second means its certifed for 7's. hes going to have a hard time getting there unless they've got a fat stack of cash saved up for it.

exactly...im betting he is just calling it a 7 sec car because thats what the seller told him, not because of the certification.

this guy doesn't kno metric from standard... he wont ever get this car in the 7's

DeleriouS 10-08-2005 06:44 PM
Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 
i never ever said that it is doing 7 seconds currently
i never ever said that the car WILL BE DOING 7s
the frame is a universal frame.
also i never said that i ever wanted to put the car into the 7s
all i have to work with is a 350SB, and i know that it wants boost so i am going to TT this bitch

no it really is a 7 second car, he got it up to 192mph or something.

i want to try to do 9-10seconds in the quarter mile, and with a 2000lbs car with over 500hp should do it.

for the drivetrain i have a BUILT Turbo400 so suck it biatches

also it has a ford 9inch rear, but its shortened because of they tubbed the body to put MASSIVE tires on it

Unfortunately in the world of displacement, this is not so true. A mild/mid build on a 350 will net you 500 hp. If you wanna get picky......Gm offers a 350 that is 465 + hp, all motor, and I imagine there is still some room left for a solid build. Imagine taht engine and 10 lbs of FI goodness. hell even a Direct port nitrous setup will give you some pretty solid gains.

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 
yeah and you get there with headwork, a good set of heads and some forged internals and good intake manifolds and so on, expensive. trust me im in the process of building one and my grandfather did all the machine work on it and it is still not cheap. ;)

Yeah, 680 whp spinning slicks on the dyno rollers for $3000 worth of cobbled together piss. Work.

could you link me directly to this 680 hp beast, i some how have a hard time believing that it is on stock rods, stock block yes, stock rods, umm no, maybe on a big block but thats a whole nother world, and ill rephrase my previous statement and say it is a lot more expensive than most people think to build a 500 hp v8, 3 grand is still expensive, and then having a tranny that will hold the power not to mention a rear end and then suspension to put it to the ground = CHA CHING, i dont care what anyone says its not cheap unless your some insane guru then maybe.

Huh, 500 whp is hard? Last I knew, you could get 450 whp pretty reliably from a stock 5.0 HO with boost... problem is, they are weak after the lightening campaign of the late 60's and prone to split down the center of the lifter galley at higher power levels. A stock 351W, that does not have a puling little girl block...

How about the stock long block GSR's pushing 500 whp with bolt on pimpshit and OMG JDM TUENARING??? That is some insane MaD tI-iTe 3rD gEaR v-TeCh y0!

Hrm, a quick perusal of the LS1 forums will show near-800 whp out of stock LS1... thread I am thinking of was at 12.5:1 AFR, the guy was so excited he posted the dyno sheet to the internet before adding fuel and taking another pull... and that is a punkass junkass engine if there ever was one. Broken cranks, split blocks, bent pushrods, fuckmullet oil pumps.

Son, they get 400 whp reliably out of Ford 2.3T - have you ever seen one of those HEADS? It makes Mini-Mopar 2.2 look like a gift from God. Try breathing through a turd pls kthx.

How about the stock block Toy 3S-GTE pushing mid-700 whp with bolt ons? Secret Services, google it.

Huh. You sure don;t know much about cars, and what they can do if you exchange reliability for hot, sweaty, trackstar action.

Look for the budget 351W Capri. Or log into jyturbo@yahoogroups and talk to guys that know Sitar, his brother, his father, etc. He's old school. Works for Eaton, with roots blowers, daily.

When YOU make that much power, know exactly what it takes, thennnnn start talking about how easy it is......just because someone else did it, doesn't mean you have any clue of the bs it took that they didnt mention. Funny you mention the turbo 2.3 ford motors, along with ls1's, and 5.0's. How many of these have you built up genius? I've played with all of them and have a pretty good idea of what it takes dollar and money wise, do you? I have a feeling that will be a no.....

To save all that typing, all you need to do is say you have a chassis car. Along with the suspension type(ladder bar, 4 link), and what size tire... It doesn't matter how big the tires are, if you have a car that makes power, and the suspension isn't setup right, you will be wasting your time. If the car was setup for a big block previous, i would go that route, it's easier, more realiable to make good power, and costs right around the same price of a good smallblock. Sounds like you don't know wtf you're talking about, it would probably be best talking to someone at a chassis shop, or somewhere that builts motors for these applications to get some real answers for this car.

TT smallblock, have fun with that one, say good bye to the pocket book if you want it to run right and reliable.

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 
Ive got a question. Have you looked at the nhra rules and regs to see what the chassis cert is? If not go check it out. As far as SB not producing sorry man. 406 small block chevy in a street stock 69 camaero. full interior PS, PB the full nine running 11,7@120 without nitro on drag radials. add the dual 250 shot kits and itll push low 9s all day. First problem is nhra rules say you have to run a cage if you run faster than 11.50. Id say start nhra amnd see what the chassis can run rules whys and go from there. If your interested trevor on the npsa site is selling his 70 chevelle roller certified to 7s for 20 and the drivetrain for 30. Its a 7.70 car could possibly go to 7.50 but youd have to run a lean tune and with 800hp on nitro they run fat. Anyways check out http://npsaracing.com/ thats my local hangout.

Stock '72 truck bottom end, with some TRW forgings slapped on the rods.


Son, they get 400 whp reliably out of Ford 2.3T - have you ever seen one of those HEADS? It makes Mini-Mopar 2.2 look like a gift from God. Try breathing through a turd pls kthx.

Ford 2.3's are pretty easy to make power with, the heads do suck but if you blow on them hard enough they will make damn good power. mine made 420 at the wheels

And geting power from a small block chevy is even easier, but it still takes a ton of cash to go fasy no matter what you have. Here is my buddies small block chevy mustang, all the work was done by him. HMT style.... No bought turbo kit, just a bunch of welding. It is still not running right, but put down 850 at the wheels

Getting in the 10's is easy
9's is a bitch
8's better have some deep pockets
7's forget about it

Later

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 
i was trying to say that it wasnt cheap i didnt mean it was hard i meant it was more expensive than most people think, and as far as the 2.3 goes ive never worked with them but i know theyre capable cause the bottom ends are forged stock arent they, along with the 3g-ste, as far as they go they are forged also right? any way nice setups in both the rx7 and mustang.

Apparently I have a better idea than you do.

Search the general forum for the CRX HF vs GSXR 750 thread. That was a low buck assembly job done by a 19 y/old kid, tuned by yours truly.

Z28, huh? You on 3rd gen .org? Ask Mark Pikas about me. I pal around a bit with Bruce "Grumpy" Plecan's friends, Dave Williams and Robert "Mean Gringo Bob" Harris. That should be enough of a DUMBestic pedigree to make you crawl back into the hole you came out of.

I dont care about crx's, and i really don't give a ---- about 3rd gen mullets. What does any of that have to do with you building small blocks and making the power you claim that's easily attainable?? I could bring up friends making shitloads of power, and running fast times all day long, but where does that get me? It makes me look about as stupid as you..... as for building my own ----, and talking about stuff I'VE delt with first hand, makes me feel alot better when it comes to talking about WTF is going on, compared to person like you, that's limited to what someone else has done, and the details they gave out.
