6.0 LS truck engine; firebird/Camaro intake manifold; medium Comp cam shaft; 10:1 Pistons; custom stainless headers and exhaust and gas tank; R80 overdrive transmission; custom 9-inch Ford rear axle; tubbed rear wheel wells; boxed and x-braced stock frame; coil-over IFR with Wilwood brakes all around; inferno red crystal pearl; Mercedes camel interior. Xoxo! Been in the family ‘forever’ – my sister, brother and I grew up driving it around central Nevada. No more 4-wheel drive – it will never see off-road again – we will all just have to live with those memories.
Hi Thom, Sorry for the delay…no excuse – thank you for the compliment. The engine is a 6.0 LS truck engine; firebird/camaro intake manifold; medium Comp cam shaft; 10:1 pistons; custom stainless headers and exhaust and gas tank; R80 overdrive transmission; custom 9-inch Ford rear axle (so we could get the tires inside the fenders); tubbed rear wheel wells; boxed and x-braced stock frame; coil-over IFR with Wilwood brakes all around…more details later. It’s been a real labor of love – been in the family since the early 60’s and my brother, sister and I spent our ‘youth’ cruising around the desert in central Nevada in it. Thanks for inquiring – I’ll send more details, and photos too if you’re interested (it’s really pretty inside). Regards, Shelley
Shelley,
Can you give me some details on your build? I love the looks. What suspension, rear, tires, engine/tranny combo, etc.?
