Fizoust Build Thread

After lurking on this website for a long time now, Ive decided since Im finally starting this build I will post progress.

History on truck:
The truck was bought by my father in the mid 90s with a tired 305 he swapped with a cratemotor 350 with 350. By the time it was my truck in high school, the crate 350 had 250k miles haha. Around 2003 I built a 383 stroker and dropped it in. I bagged it and it wasnt too much longer after i realized, i couldnt afford the gas, go figure right? I then started dreaming of a more gas reliable solution and going with a standard transmission. The second I saw the donor 95 trans am I knew that the LT1 and T56 was meant to be in my old chevy.
After much dreaming planning, and stocking up parts Ive decided to start the project.

Re: Fizoust Build Thread

Clutch pedal didnt really work out as planned. Scrapped the idea of using stock mastercylinder, and picked up wilwood clutch pedal setup with a speedway motors 7/8 mastecylinder.

Havent mounted it yet but should work out, will post updated pictures soon.

also, with much debate Ive decided to remove my airbags. I ordered a 4/6 ECE drop kit and the bag kit is already sold just need to yank it out.

pictures will be uploaded in the near future.
