brobradh77 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 The old Astro is going into the garage for a winter overhaul (mostly body work), and I'm thinking of adding some goodies... It's a 1970 350SBC out of a Corvette... (the guy said it was the LT1, but we're pretty sure it was the base 300hp engine) 1. fully forged rotating assembly (stock stroke), forged pistons (.30 over) 2. a decent roller cam and lifter conversion with a lopey idle 3. Ported and polished Dart heads from my father's old 327 w/ promagnum rocker arms 4. double chain drive. 5. Shortie headers and 3'' exhaust with X-over and Flowmaster series 40's I've also been looking at the Demon Six-shooter... and I know that it's about the same as a single four barrel, but triple deuce carbs would be pretty cool wouldn't it? I don't know... give me some advice. It's all backed by a rebuilt 700R4 with a shift kit, B&M Hammer shifter and an aftermarket trans cooler. Chevy 12 bolt with 3.73 Posi... Oh, and check out this guy's cowl hood... I think it's pretty neat..lol http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2163251 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
