hey yall

Hey yall, gonna drop in here and tell on myself. Name is Brian, I'm 37 and I live in North Carolina. I have a few projects that I have been working on.
First off I have a '90 Suburban 4x4 that has been lifted 4 inches has 35x12.5x15 tires, a Warn 12,000 lb winch, and has 4.11 gears. It has some other stuff also. When I want to go in the mud I swap out the street tires and put on some Mickey Thompson Baja Claws.
Next is my first 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe, Burg/Burg inside with T-tops. It has a 383 stroker usual stroker parts, Bowtie heads 202 and 160 valves, some minor porting. RPM Airgap with a 750 Demon on top. Got a .515 bumpstick, some Comp Cams 1.5 roller rockers. Other good things, Flow Tech headers, true duals with Warlocks. I put in a TH350 and an unknown stall and using the stock 3.73 gears. I removed the AC system and put in a non AC setup from a Cutlass, so it looks factory.
My second '87 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe white/grey inside. It is currently going through an engine swap. The stock 305 took a dump so I am putting in a 305 TPI motor from a '90 IROCZ. Its got Edelbrock TES headers, hollow cat, duals with Flowmaster mufflers. Not done with this one yet.

Next is a '70 Nova that is getting a 383 stroker, Vortec heads, Voodoo Cam, Air Gap, 750 holley double pumper, some MSD. Behind that is a Borg Warner T-10. This one isn't done either.
I also have a '60 BelAir 4 door. It currently has the orig 283 and powerglide. I originally was to install a 350 and 4L60 with TPI and a Vortech supercharger. It was a plan to be a sleeper. But I have really gotten into the Ratrods, so I want to build this into sorta a Ratrod. I have gotten alot of ideas and ways to go with this one. I can't wait to start on this one.
See yall around.
Brian

re: hey yall

The OP has been offline for nearly a month, and this intro was posted almost 3 months prior. I'm thinking either Brian is stuck really bad, or else his wife "discovered" his projects....Brian, if you check back in anytime soon, we need to discuss joint custody of the Monte's.



In a while, Chet.

If you aren't scared yet, you aren't trying hard enough...

So, what do you say about the joint custody? I'll be really nice and let you have them Sunday night through Friday at 7 am....



In a while, Chet.
