Nothing against your build but i remember big blocks in those Novas that plagued traction back in the old days. Duramax will far surpass the big block issue. Good luck.

sweet were about are you from

 

[417 motorsports]

LOL gotcha... we are not in any way trying to go fast with this one.... just build a fun cruiser with a different drivetrain

Or i guess you could say it the way it was worded when featured in car craft... "We are not trying to set the world on fire... Just cover it in black smoke" LOL

 

[417 motorsports]

sweet were about are you from

Just down the road from you in Springfield Mo

 

[ripmf666]

Ok saw the tags and it looked like a Md tag or a MO tag lol car looks cool as hell

 

[TheBac]

Wow. Too cool! :thumb: Keep us updated! What are you using for a rear axle?


I think what Mike means is even a stock Dmax has the capability to roast the rear tires bald very quickly in that car. Be careful on wet pavement. :rofl:

Cool Build, I like it:thumb:

 

[417 motorsports]

Its got a 9" 2.63 rear gear from a lincoln Versi

 

[tylerrustLB7]

Very cool,that will be a good cruizer with 2.63!

 

[Diesel Pilot]

Awesome!

That intake is impressive, definitely outside the box thinking with it it raping around and coming in from the back.:thumb:

 

[Dan@PPE]

Looking good 417!! Its come a long ways! Keep up the good work.

 

[SmokeShow]

God bless you sir!! I've dreamed of doing a Chevy II with a Dmax for some time. For the time being, I'll live vicariously through you!! Looks so cool!!

You gonna paint it or leave it patina and surprise folks?
