    Thumbs up My 85 720 Carburated (Dont shake will EXPLODE)

    So just traded my 86 MR2 for this nice little truck it has potential and runs like a bat outta hell...

    How it sits:

    Stock Z24 2.4 litre Carburated
    Stock exhaust little loud cut off after axle.
    Lowered with torsion bars and 3 inch blocks in the back
    Clean interior
    Exterior is about a 8-10 for an 85
    Wheels are Rota GRIDS 16X8
    Tires Kumho Ecsta
    Tint Illegal..LOL
    Manual Steering rack
    New alternator and wiring.
    New plugs and wires
    New front brake pads
    New battery tray
    Tonneau Cover
    6K HIDS
    AC and Heat

    Plans:

    Maybe upgraded front calipers from hardbody Dual Piston
    SBC 350 with T-5 trans - est 300 HP - 330 TRQ
    Keyless Entry and power locks maybe auto start.
    Bucket Racing Seats
    Sub box as armrest in center of Bucket seats











    ENGINE:

    Well changed engines again.. the 76 350 got sold, So I picked up a 305 5.0 L that has great HP and TRQE out of the box. I will put pics up asap of new motor and trans.

    Before:





    After:













    Block is off to Machine shop and will need to get Crank Polished.

    Block will need to be bored .30 over or more so I will be getting larger pistons keeping stock rods.

    Heads will be getting machined as well






    So I got irritated because I didnt want a 305 I wanted a 350 so I bought another engine and ripped it apart at my house:

    Donor Engine - 1997 Silverado SBC 350 - 275 HP - 330 TRQ

    Pics below:





    Heads flow great one of the best flowing stock heads Chevy makes 062

    Rotating Assembly



    Cylinder walls are in need of a little work but nothing major.



    I need parts cleaner:



    My new Carb from Edelbrock - 1407 with mech secondaries



    Got my engine done at machine shop and will be picking up hopefully at end of week - Pics to follow

    Block has been honed and has new freeze plugs will get picks of polished crank and also rebuilt heads as well.











    I am going with flat top pistons to increase compression from LT-1 and also using an LT-1 Cam as well.
