When I built my GT40 I didn't do a build log. So this time I will begin at the very beginning. I Ordered the car on Sept 19th when I was there. I asked Fran to hold off shipping until after the 1st of the year and that fits right into his 16 week delivery schedule. So in the mean time I'm collecting parts.
Here I am at RCR trying one on. And as you can see I have begun collecting parts. I visited California Motorsports last September and spent a couple of hours there. We went over what I wanted to do and came up with a G50 XX with a 2.4 1st,1.75 2nd and a 3.44 final. It also has a Quaife TBD in it along with steel syncros, steel shift forks and, billet side plates.
I also found these Brodix heads IK 200's on their web site. They were in the overstock section and I got them for $900 including shipping. As you can see I am going to use Pro Magnum Comp rockers on them also. And yes I have gone to the dark side. It's gonna be a Chevy.
The plan is a 4 bolt 355 at 10.3 to 1 compression, Scat forged crank, rods, pistons and a retro fit hyd roller cam/lifters are all on order. Target power is 425-450HP.
This car is going to built from the outset as a track car. Ought to be interesting
As more stuff arrives I continue posting pictures.
