Looking good!! Looks like your doing a really good job putting together a nice collection of good parts. I really like that BMR Extreme torque arm. I feel those are one of the best torque arms out there. Keep up the good work and good luck with your project.

Here's the new stuff as of today.

The 6.0L bored .030 over ...


Front prostar look alikes made by Summit. These things look GREAT and are made solid. I recommend these to anyone looking for some prostars at a great price.




Back prostars with the new 275/60/15's mounted .


Two motors I have to build and put in customers cars before I can start on my build . I've been working my *** off getting these together with some help of a buddy.

I'm guessing boost, but it's just a guess.

Couldn't come up with an extra $1,000 for a 4" crank at the time . I may build it for boost eventually if I ever tear back into it but that is (hopefully) a long time from now. Until then I'll just be running a 100-150 shot through it.

The build looks like it's going good! I agree with you on those Summit Stars... I had some on my car. They might weigh a little bit more but barely any grinding and they look the same!

It's not cheaper to buy it already built. You can save yourself alot of cash by doing it yourself.

Their are some 370 ci floating around that will compete with some 408ci motors out there but they are deep in the backwoods being setup. Stay tuned!!! Seriously if you match it up correctly the 370ci motor can play with the big boys.

Once the rear shocks and nitrous kit are on i'll have "StreetSilverado photography" catch some pictures of my bitch standing on the bumper and since powell is not here i'm going to swipe is heads and race StreetSilverado for his girlfriend

Another update and very surprised myself . We started on my motor earlier than I had planned, but thats a good thing for me! Anyway all I have to pick up now is my cam, oil pump, and lifters. I should be getting a 3rd member out of a 9" tomorrow to put mine together with from a buddy hopefully that will work out. After all that I will be missing ONE thing to have every part I need to put my car back together, a damn shifter linkage bracket . So if anyone has one laying around please let me know!

Got the crank and new ARP main studs in and torqued


Also got all the rings gapped for a 300 shot


And here's all the pistons rods and all that good stuff that I'll be putting together tomorrow
