My 89 chevy. my dad paid 1500 for it like it is with no motor. saved up money from summer a job(when i was 15 im now 16) and just bought a sbc 350 nd put it in there with headers nd exhaust and i rebuilt the tranny and put a shift kit in it.(came with a detriot post trac rear end with 373 gears). i also bought a new seats, had my interior reaposltered, got new radio and had my windows tented. then i decided i was done untill i paid my dad back for the truck i didnt have to but i just wanted to be able to say i bought every thing on this truck. and i just got him payed back so now its time to start doing stuff to it. i just ordered a billet grill new headlights and a new bumper. last week i bought a 85 454 and 350 turbo that came out of a camper with 83,496 miles on them. ill post more pics when i have the new front end on. but my plans are to put a new set of tail lights in, and build my motor and tranny. my plans for my motor is to get a set of aluminum heads, roller rockers, roller lifters, roller cam, 11 to 1 compression pistons for a 496, scat crank, je rods, high rise intake, double pumper holley, a nice set of headers, 3 inch duals with 2 borla xr-1 mufflers, with turn downs before my rear end, oh and electric cut outs. then for the tranny im going to put a stall and shift kit in it, when it blows out im going to get a 400 turbo, im going to leave my rear end the way it is untill it goes out and then im going to replace it with a fab 9 inch with 4:11s that im going to buy off of my grandpa. when im done with all of that im going to drop it more maybe do a mini tub, get new rims and tires, and then i think it will be done until i figure out how i want to repaint it and how i want to redo my interior. like i said this is going to be a slow build so its going to be a while until this is done but i will add pictures the whole time.
