Re: "Sid Vicious" aka "yeller" My 79 chevy

well it has been awhile, and real life has gotten in the way of my truck time,

the car headers didn't quit work all that well bought new ones

sid Vicious was also a member of "the sex pistols"

here is what I have done, redid the cam to something more streetable, comp 268, added some Bowtie heads and intake,

the short block was all sock, so it didn't take anytime to discover it's weakness, which was it spinning a rod bearing,

so the new plan is to use the new top end, on a new bottom end, which should hold up,
forged steel crank, lunati rods, and Mahle forged dome pistons, bored .060 over,

planning a 3/4 drop, some suspension work to make her handle better, new paint and a new attitude, be it bad or what,
