Re: My new project 86 Silverado
OK... finally got my budget worked out for my project.
Paint etc. already decided ,and have supplies. Front drop, already decided and have hardware. 1st question: looking for another engine solution. at first I was looking at Chevy 327 options, which I really like even though people say i'm crazy for wanting one. If I go with a 327 I want to be able to spin it real high if I want. For the engine... budget says I can go three different routes... a short, or long block and add ons to complete the engine, or... a turn-key engine. For a small block Chevy(cubic inches doesn't matter now), I would like input from you guys on which route could be the best bang for the buck with a budget of 4000.00+? Transmission will be TH400, rear gear 3.08. 2nd question: Since I am only doing static drop on my truck with 2.5" drop spindles etc. up front. And I want to lower it in the rear and have a little rake to it. What would be the best suspension option for getting rid of the leaf spring setup in the rear, and a budget of 2000.00 or less. Anyone used one of these? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/na...8/media/images As always, let me know what info you need to help me figure some stuff out. Kind regards, naphtali |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
I've got one of those serpentine kits but its still in the box. It's the same thing they're putting on late-model cars and trucks in a kit to retrofit on a old small block - not much to it really. If you wanted to get all that out the junkyard and dress it up you could and essentially have the same thing. That might be an option if you want to save some $$$ to put on the long-block.
To rev, 327 or 377, but what happened to the 455? |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
I still have the 455 :) I'm thinking about putting that with my 67.
yeah I figured a kit that had it all together in one package (part #12497697 is with PS/ALT and no A/C) would be cool to put on a SBC instead of one of those super expensive March kits. Quote:

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
blah... rain for the next week, wtf? i wish I had a garage/shop, this really sucks guys... :waah:
At least I get to order parts, I guess that's a consolation... |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
All that bare metal makes me think you should chrome it all!
Lots of work & it looks great so far!! |

I need to re-sand the fenders for the surface rust so I can epoxy prime them, and it's too damp out for either one. |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Does anyone have any experience with this place?
http://www.skipwhiteperformance.com As I said in an earlier post, I am leaning toward a high compression 327, aluminum heads, forged pistons, solid roller cam... BRUISER, what do you think about the serpentine kit? could you post a pic of it? or is it all in a box and a hassle to get out :) You willing to part with it? And yeah I still have my 455, I should have it back from the builder in a week or so :) |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
ordered another gallon of epoxy primer, and a gallon of 2K primer
36 grit and 40 grit D/A sanding disks, lot's of sanding to do to get back to bare metal. Also went to H/F and got an air drill, and 4 inch grinder for wire brushes and grinding disks for the "patina" on the hood of the cab. update pics soon... |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
went ahead and pulled the trigger on Mcgaughy's 2.5" drop spindles
http://grunionfabrication.com/mcgaug...53-p-2168.html hopefully they will be here in a few days... |

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Going to be getting wheels soon, just want to make sure I get it right... what backspacing should I use for wheels on my truck? stock 10 bolt flipped, no C notch and Mcgaughy's 2.5" drop spindles. i'd like 10" wheels in the back, 8" front. what size tires would be able to fit with plenty of room, I don't want to have to modify fender wells....
any input much appreciated, I hope my drop spindles get here tomorrow! |

I think the 10's in rear are fine, in the front the 8's, i hear you might have to trim the LCA's I could be wrong, but that's what i've heard. |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
This is the setup I will be running as well. I am thinking I was told 5" bs on the 10" rims and 4"bs on the 8" up front.
