71 rebuild
wabco40:
Hello all, I am new to this forum and was put onto it by Demonx.
I am from Newman in WA and have been rebuilding my 71 vette since I imported it in 2004.
The car was a base model 350/270hp 4 speed. I have been doing a 100 percent frame off rebuild since it arrived and hope to have it finished mid next year.
I am currently finishing the paint and then will start on final assembly.
The car at the moment is fitted with VBP mono leaf front end and rear composite spring. Steeroids power rack & pinion steering and full Wilwood brakes.
The engine is a 385 stroker with comp cams 268 roller cam and lifters and Edelbrock performer RPM heads. The fuel system is a Torker 11 manifold with injector bungs welded in and fuel rails made up. I am using Bocsh 42lb injectors, FTP 1150 cfm throttle body and Aeromotive pump, regulator and filters. The fuel injection system is controlled by a FAST XFI ecu.
I will start to post some pictures when I can work out how!!!
Brad.
