1970 Turbo small tire build

I started scrubbing with detergent and a soft brush then used a wire wheel on an angle grinder when I got lazy. I wiped it all down with TSP before paint.
It seems to stick and spray great , no skill involved!

 

I haven’t posted updates in a while! Here’s a rapid catch up on the build

 

The stock bottom end 05 lq4 got its rings gapped , cam installed, Johnson lifters and pushrods measured.

 

The rearend is in place. It’s a quick performance 9” housing with 35 spline axles , strange aluminum center with spool. It’s resting on Calvert split monos with Afco big gun double adjustable shocks.

 

I got a screaming deal on a fresh ATI , Reid cased power glide. I sold the used 8” converter and got a PTC 9.5” 15-0 and SFI flex plate

 

Definitely. Both of my girls show interest, one likes to build and the other wants to go fast !

 

I sat the engine in place and started laying out turbo placement
