Project: ThunderChicken
Buddy of mine picked up a 79 Trans Am that used to be a Radial Tire Drag car.
Originally an all motor Big Block Chevy 454" puttin it down through a TH350 trans and a Strange 9" rear on 28" DOT Radials. New setup is a total budget build... what we dropped in yesterday is a High Comp 350 Small Block, unknown cam, Holley 4 barrel adapted to a spread-bore Q-Jet intake with a Single Plate jetted for 150 shot of spray. Switched the TH350 to a TH400 transmission and a 4.10 rear gear with 26" ET Street Radials. Lookin for 11s on spray! Trying to talk him into a second hand 80mm T6 turbo I have at my disposal, bigger cam a loose converter.. and just using the spray to get up on the converter and go for 9's @ 145mph+ because it already has a cage. http://imageshack.us/a/img826/6800/thunderchicken1.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img717/4813/thunderchicken2.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img99/2752/thunderchicken5.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img525/6626/thunderchicken3.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img17/2829/thunderchicken4.jpg The 350SBC looks absolutely tiny down in there compared to the 454 or even the 6.6 that came from the factory! http://imageshack.us/a/img513/6305/thunderchicken6.jpg |
Is that the one that came with a 6.1L (or was is a 6.9L) from the factory? Or was that the Camaro?
I almost bought one when I was 18.... thank god I didn't. :D |

Thanks for the clarification... 6.6L it was.. and a 79.
My uncle had a late 70's Camaro modded with the exhaust running along the sides of the car, quite a few family members burned their legs getting out of the car... memories.. lol Those cars were all over the place back then. |
