I don't know which is uglier.. the wheels or the owner ???

But it is a good looking Cleveland...

We may have to put up a poll and get a concensus on that, but my bet is that the owner will get the prize. Whole lotta ugly there. Laughing

I had a lot of trouble with Latemodel Restoration, sent wrong parts and did'nt want to take them back. I will not buy from them any more.

dfree383 April 10th 2014, 9:53 pm

It's tough for the 79-86 cars they only offer partial pieces....

dfree383 May 20th 2014, 6:49 pm

I'm having a real tough time...... I have all the parts to put a 460(521) C6 combo in this car...... Somebody talk some sense into me ! Ahhhhhhhh!

QtrWarrior May 20th 2014, 8:29 pm

DON'T DO IT !!!!!!

As much as I would like to say go ahead, I think you will have much more fun and be happier with the small block and manual trans. You will drive it more and it will be way more usable fun on the street. To take care of your big block fix find a 2005-2007 and stick the big block in that for a super sleeper. Or you could just send all those cars and parts to me.........

dfree383 August 5th 2014, 10:45 pm

Ok ..... So I pulled the Cleveland out and decided to build a legal NHRA Stock Eliminator car......

Got Randy Malick at RM Competion helping me with the heads, induction and valve train. Sending the 5 speed to liberty for some upgrades and face plating...... And looking at one of those fangled soft lock clutches...

Is that your final answer? Very Happy

JK Dave, sounds like you got a good man on it. Cool

jeffgfg August 6th 2014, 11:44 am

Sounds like a fine idea Dave!! Hmmm some super sneaky engine parts from Randy????? Good luck and keep us up to date!!!

dfree383 August 6th 2014, 1:56 pm

Yeah Randy's quite the sneaky guy when it comes to finding the grey area in the rules. And doing it on the low down He is rather innovative.

Yep....The rules say how far you can open a valve...but they don't say for how long. Suspect

dfree383 August 28th 2014, 1:48 pm

Got a engine and trans in the hole...

dfree383 January 30th 2015, 9:18 pm

Making progress on this project, short block is almost complete.

Waiting for Randy to finish the heads.

Trying to decide which trans to get.... DR4 or G-Force.....

FalconEh January 30th 2015, 9:57 pm

Are you putting the lightweight factory package on it too, while you are waiting on the heads? Twisted Evil

Never seen one, got minimum weights the the car is required to hit.

jeffgfg February 2nd 2015, 4:48 pm

Remove the power windows and locks, gut or remove the heater/AC box, take all the sound deadner out, under carpet, under the headliner, remove all extra wiring. Then put the weight where you want it. Plenty of places to get rid of weight.
