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.

Don't be hate'in......   

Dave about those moldings......Latemodelrestoration.com or nationalpartsdepot.com and finally mustangsunlimited.com they list a full set of body moldings 10 piece for 330.00. Hope this helps !!

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.

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

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!

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.........

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

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

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.

Anybody who knows anything about a camshaft will be able find pleasure in this picture....

And no the lobes are not going flat.....  

Jumper?

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

Got a engine and trans in the hole...

Need to get this thing fired up in the next few weeks.

GIT r DONE,then do a burnout.

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.....

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

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

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.
