Title: Finally fired this thing up
Post by: Matt Jewell on November 06, 2016, 07:18:23 PM
Several months later than I hoped, but today this thing finally started. What was to be a heads,cam,supercharger and Mass Air conversion turned into just about a full redo. Glad to say the budget that I set for $2000. would have been met if I hadn't picked up this used 306 short block. I am still far below $3000.  in additions. Need to install in tank pump, swap AOD Pan gasket, and before spring buy some drag radials and do something for frame connectors. Doesn't sound like anything special, but it did idle fairly well for not adjusting timing, tps, and some old gas in the tank. Heater hose cutting loose ended the days activities. Was wanting to see if the car would idle in gear with the stock converter and this used E Cam. The wife took some phone video, I'll see if she can help me get it up. Alot of fine info on here to get me this far. On more than 1 occasion I thought about sping the efi and supercharger and just put on a carb and nitrous. We will see how things go from here.

Picked up a 2nd set of Weld Draglites, skinnies in the front and a set of rears to mount a New set of drag radials. Ordered Global West frame connectors which should be here in a few weeks. Car has been under a car cover for the last few months, but need to finish up these odds and ends by the end of March. Looking forward to spring.

Frame connectors showed up today. 2 1/2 weeks early. Who would have thought.

Haven't made it to the track yet, but have been logging miles and working out some minor bugs. I don't think this aod is going to hang in there, just playing around on the street. My wife enjoys driving it too, and thinks I should leave it alone. She is smarter than I am.
