FINALLY!! Got picks up on the Riviera

i havent ran it with my new inj pump, air dog and my k31 if i hook should be mid 12s
 
and it wanders now... get a seat thats comfortable to suck up with those slicks.
maybe try adding more caster in the front.. i think global west makes a shaft that has keys to change caster in front end, a lot more stable at speed.
good luck on ironing it out!
 
still debating that.. i have a 68 mm turbo from a cessna airplane that i was thinking about doing that with, or just use it as a single then stack it later with an 80 or so,,, just want to get it running then do as time and cash allow. but yes i want twins on it.
 
looks good..

wiht a iron head BBC in my malibu..

stiffer springs poly bushings and STS 1 1/4" anti roll bar helps ALOT

plus i have 5608 springs... they are about 50lbs likght then travis 5610 sprigns in rate iirc

love to put a Dmax in mine

sounds like a blast...
i would have to say i would drive it..

Cool ride man. I love seeing people throw in a diesel instead of a damn gasser. I'm putting a lbz dmax in my camaro right now. My bank account is the only thing getting in the way! *bdh*

The more pics/vids the better

nice.. i got an 83 cutlass thats needin a drivtrain, you guys think its easly doable to put a 12v in it or should i just move on and go with a 350? i just dont want to start the project and end up it bein to much for me to handle.

thats wats fun about it isnt easy. If it was easy u whould see everyone doing these types of conversions. Mine took about 3 years to get running that sounds like a cool conversion :rockwoot:

i got it from my buddy.. its one of those ebay 100$ intercoolers... it fit looks like it will cool pretty well and was better than nothing..

my project has been ongoing for almost a year and its finally close to running..
but everything dropped right in.

the g body is definitely harder to cram one of these bad boys into.. it is fun as travis said, but get ready,, you need a welder and a lot of tools. if you think you can pull it off then do it.. but i can tell you if you lose motivation easily it isnt fun and you wont wanna do it.. good luck!
 
i will have to take a look on the ebay...... i dk the cummino started out as holy sh*t it has a cummins and the more i mess with it the more it turns into a drag truck type thing. So i wouldent need one if i put a hx 40 or a 64mm on my K31 and spray a bit soo.... its a catch 22
 
i have found garrett cores in good sizes for reasonable prices.. if you can tig aluminum.. you can have a good sized intercooler for under 500.. the ability to daily drive the car is definitely a must. but you are probably lacking some room.. maybe water air? with heat exchanger it would be real functional on your car.
