Not much of an update got some new parts, ptfb stop flex kit with cross brace, the subframe connectors didnt come yet but i didnt need em yet anyway.The cross brace looks like its gonna interfear with something so its most likely gonna have to get modified to work. i got globel west tubular a arms for this car too. i was gonna try the speedtech arms but they are on backorder for another month so i just got the globelwests. globel west delalum lower controlle arm bushings also, i installed those tonite and they went in easier than poly bushings. The subframe bushings from ptfb were already installed.monday my caprice spindals come in at the chevy dealer for the 12in rotor swap also.

Looks good. So what are the engine specs?

Its a mystery engine, the engine was once in my buddies 87 ta that he bought from some dude, the engine ran great and one day he got a rocker stud that started pulling out, we pulled the heads and they were rebuilt with guide plates and screw in studs, while off we noticed someone ported them, the pistons are trw hypereutectic popups to get the compression up on the 76cc heads. i have no idea the cam specs but its good low end because it was built for a tpi engine no reason to pull it and check because it runs great.the engine was in the 87 ta till the car was parted out and my other buddy bought it for his 81ta that we did a sbc swap in, the 81 got scrapped because he thought it was a money pit and the garage was filling up so i bought it and its been in my car ever since. while i had it i put a new oil pan and oil pump on it as well as a timing chain and cover, when it finally blows up ill take it apart and find out the mystery.
