the wheelbase on the elky is about 11 inches longer than the gn, and the car comes in at a light heavyweight 3200 more or less pounds, so the weight transfer is a little different than a gn, works out great. There is a blue elky out there doing mid 10's, so I know there is ways to hook up, but not on the street! When I do nail it, its usually at a roll or else on these heavy ass 18" iroc wheels, it does get dumb this coming month I plan on strapping in a th 400, a good converter. I'm going to do the heads, and I need a timing chain, so while the engine is out, i'll probably go with a bigger cam, most likely a 218 cam from my buddy at isky. Figure i'll match it with the turbo/converter/gear ratio/ head flow, and make a killer 500 hp or so combo:wink: a little leaded gas, maybe a cheap used b2b fast, and whalla! mid 13's all day oh, and somebody will find out soon about the difference between a ta 44?? or what ever it was, to a big frame turbo, look foreward to doing another set of head gaskets lou!! the wheelbase on the elky is about 11 inches longer than the gn, and the car comes in at a light heavyweight 3200 more or less pounds, so the weight transfer is a little different than a gn, works out great.

Theres nothing that can be built .That can't be broken. Especially if its turbocharged.well, if it let go its because it was its time i'm sure. 150k+= certain death
I would be more worried about the tow home than I would the engine. I guess those head gaskets are good
until I build something to hold the bottom together better. He'll bounce back like chevota, with a vengence
Someone got the Turtle Wax polish kit for C-MAS and WE ALL know who that was...Sorry Lou, but that's not true. One of your "BEST" customers is trying to do just that by ONLY attending car shows and racing rice on the freeway
Just Ignore him & he'll go nuts.Sorry Lou, but that's not true. One of your "BEST" customers is trying to do just that by ONLY attending car shows and racing rice on the freeway

good quote Lou, but i think after tomorrow when I lay down my 11sec pass my car will stay in one piece and keep running and I call that success not failure, FAILURE is your protoge's crank on the TRACK. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
BTW build him the biggest baddest motor so that next time the bang is bigger and better, lets just hope is not too big that the trannie will come through the floor and take out with nuts with it..
