It was an LS6 car they were working on a couple years ago. Dusk blue with stock wheels and tires from the looks of it. I believe he's had a few through his shop from the pics on their FB page. These guys do real nice work.

Hello Graeme , Amazing looking Build. May I ask a few details on your front Rim/Tire combo? What size are the cragar front runners and the back space of them? Did you need a spacer to clear brake caliper? Also the tire brand and size? Thanks, ROB

Hello Rob

Fronts are 15" x 4" Direct Bolt Cragar's with 5.60.15 Pro Tracs which measure 25.8" tall and have a 4" tread pattern with 5.9" section width. I'm not sure the backspace on the fronts but just checked and it looks like 2" or something along those lines (may be 1-3/4"). No issue at all clearing the single piston front calipers on the 69 as you can see from the back shot. Hope that helps you out.

G.

Starting to get a little ansty for the new motor to come from the builder now. Had to swap cranks around as the first one didn't fit and that's what caused the delay. Callies shipped me another crank that they first turned down so the counter weights would clear a stock GM block. Now that it's come back it'll be balanced up with some heavy metal added to achieve the required bob weight. I dropped off a couple parts to the machinist on Thursday and he was getting set to finish up the balancing. Block has since been finished up, lifter valley cleaned and cam bearings installed. I'm thinking the rest should finish up real soon and we'll run the motor in a week or two. Once the Crossram is mated up it should soon be moving into the car. I think I can see a glimmer of light now, but hope I can stay focused while embarking upon an aggressive new business start-up this year.

A couple shots before it's all finished up and ready to run.

Been pretty busy the past couple months with numerous projects but got the new Crossram motor finished up and broke the cam in last week. Here are a few pics of the engine build which includes a Callies forged bottom end, a "stout" solid cam from Crower, and those familiar Trick Flow 186 aluminum heads from a previous build. Motor is 11.4 compression and should work really well with the Crossram mounted up. I'll dial in the 4295 carbs using this intake and the Crossram will be added once this motor goes into the green car.

Here's the sound of this new stroker at idle. I'll use it in this intake configuration to setup the Crossram carbs. Once it goes into the green car, the intake will be swapped out for the 2x4. It sounds wicked at 1200 rpm and can't wait to drive it now.

I can't get this funny grin off my face tonight.
