Sorry to hear that bud. I had a BS sesion yesterday in the shop so I didn't get a whole lot done myself, but I did have a little time to relax at least.

[83turbomon]

Huh...

I bought an RV today for 50 bucks..... Partaaay:biggrin:

Took a picture of the pair of Cutlasses. The grey one was purchased for the interior for green car. So now I have a rust free, pretty much complete cutlass with my 455 sitting in it. Yay~

 

[WarWagon]

That's right save the Iron!

 

[CamoDeafie]

you should reeally try twin turbo 455 in that cutlass, find a junkyard cutlass nose; new transmission probably.......

 

[dr_frankenstein]

lol........ you guys are great!

Twin turbo 455 would be awesome, but thats a few years in the future. Right now its going to be going into storage for the winter.

I have a spare header panel to fix put on the car. It just takes a bunch of bolts to put it on and I dont really feel like finding all them. I have almost 2 complete interiors sitting in the basement, a complete spare nose, a front suspension, every trim piece off the gray car, a pair of 10X15" Vectors, a box full of window regualtors, it goes on. I have just about everything to make the gray car a running vehicle. Only thing that I dont have are hoses, belts, a cab, and a correct length driveshaft.

Bought the car cheap, and it came with a rusty blue 84 cutlass and the gray one. The 84 got crushed, but the gray one is too nice to get rid of. Just dont know what to do with it. Only thing Ive bought for it was a drivers side door, pulled the passenger side door off the blue 84, a TH375, a few cans of olds gold, and a quart of primer.

its flat on top. theres no dish.....

thinking of chasing more compression are we?

[charlief1]

If you're looking at stock then the only real difference is bracing at the pin boss of the piston. It has steel re-enforcement in it to make it stronger.

 

[WarWagon]

The stock NA pistons that came in my '84 3.8 were dished they looked like the turbo pistons without the extra pin support.

so the only difference is the pin support and the top is not dished.

 

[charlief1]

Has the same dish.
