1953 Chevrolet 3100 Street Rod runs and drives excellent, very quick. 

The body is mostly stock with a few mods, shaved handles and bear jaw latches installed for safety and looks.  New glass all the way around and, custom headliner and seat installed.  Custom leather wrapped steering wheel Stewart Warner and Mallory gauges installed.  All of the trim has been chromed for that cool old street rod look.   Custom door handles inside and door panels very simple but looks great.  Polished Stainless steel firewall looks really sharp sets off the engine.  The rear sheet metal and wood is a new kit from Mar K with new steel rear fenders as well.  The wood is Oak with a dark Walnut stain and polished stainless steel strips looks excellent when shines off the bedsides.  The roll pan under the tailgate is custom with louvers and LED 53 Pontiac taillights.  Also the custom stainless steel fuel tank had been relocated under the bed for safety.  The filler neck has been left in the original location and blocked for old-school looks.  The grille is a reproduction chrome unit that really pops and also has custom LED park/turn signals.   I also have a hood available that has a peak added but is not finished that goes with the truck, but I feel the truck looks pretty mean without it.

                The engine is a 1965 Corvette block numbers FOII4HH, 3782870 with 2.02 double hump heads.  There have been many modifications to the engine balanced high compression pistons, roller rockers all the old school go fast goodies.  Weiand tunnel ram intake with two 650 CFM Carter AFB’s.  Sounds very good at the local cruise nights with the header plugs open.  The transmission is a TCI prepped TH350 with a manual automatic valve body and 3000 stall TCI torque converter.  Also there is a B&M star shifter with slapper setting.  The rear end is a GM 10 bolt that has been rebuilt with new bearings, new auburn limited slip carrier and new 3:73 Richmond gears.  In total the truck only has 79 miles on it since it has been put together.

The truck handles and stops great with the 67’ Camaro sub-frame with discs up front and drums in the rear.  The front end has had all of the bushings and ball-joints replaced and new coils have been installed as well.  This truck is a great driver with plenty of power to get you into trouble and upset the neighbors if you want to.   This truck just needs some TLC and little finishing touches just selling it because other projects have taken priority.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
