    Default Making some progress on the 383 combo after 5 years!

    I was finally able to make some progress on my car after it sitting since Jan 2008. I pulled my old 355 combo out and sold it for the new 383 build. I got everything done and had the th400 trans rebuilt while it was out and put it back in the car in Oct 2010. I went through a series of life stuff and lost interest in getting the combo done (mainly was tired of spending money on the car) and was waiting on a spot in my local chassis shop to open up so I could get the needed fab work completed before I could move any further finishing the car. I needed fab work to cut the cowl/hood, cut the bottom of the car for header fitment, found out I needed a new #3 tube made as the plug clearance was not enough to get a plug in the head, vacuum pump fitted with fitting welded on the valve covers, throttle cable fabbed up for the 4 bbl tb, coil mounted, went with a madman torque arm to clear the dual 3.5" y-pipe, running FAST XFI harness through the firewall, and lots of other misc little stuff. Anyway, below are some pics of the progress. I hope to have the car back by the end of Aug and start rewiring the car before finally firing it up and tuning it in N/A. Goal is somewhere in the mid 10's NA and mid to low 9's on the bottle depending on the shot size.
