Thread: Back with new build. Well actually a remodel.

Holy Wow! Another fun one to watch! I like the idea of the C4 suspension. It's going to be a completely different car when its done. What does it have for a drive train now? I got to ask, what made you go the route of building your own 6.0 vs a low mileage pull out ?

The car had a 454 with a turbo 400. It has inboarded leaf springs with a 9 inch rear end. It will be replaced with a triangular 4 link. The 454 and Turbo 400 trans has already been removed and went to a friend who will put it in his truck.

As far as rebuilding the engine its a money thing. It seems I only get deals on high mileage engines.lol Its not much to clean them and rebuild them. Easy to do I did the same for my truck.
