screamer510 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I feel like this thread needs updating... SOOOOOOO, what are these "events" near Warner Robins you speak of? How 'bout that update? Quote Link to comment
LeX Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Screamer510 there are no events near wr lol.... they are Atlanta area :P Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I wonder if that L20 has more pep than my rebuilt bored l16 with a weber? then again you have a weber... you probably have me by a bit...but i picked up my truck right down near you, i should have told you when I was coming! Haha, it looks good though man. Question: why the 720 springs over just some blocks? Well, lets just put it this way. My A15 in my 210 after the porting, MSD ign, weber, etc moved about as hard as this L20B in the truck The springs were chosen because they were easily installed (thanks again M-O-T!) and were a more legit way of lowering it. Believe it or not, the truck is actually still on LIFT shackles in the rear! Once I get the new shackles on the rear I'll be tucking in the rear. With blocks I'll be a few short inches from the ground. Where was your truck at??? I had a Hooker Header on my 74 with a L20B. It was just like that one and man it hung down too far and smacked the pavment alot. I'm now going to use a Robello Racing 510 header. The collector stops at bottom of block next to lower tranny mount and I'll be able to tuck exhaust better. What flange did you use on the other side? I can't seem to find anyone with a flange that bolts onto the collector on the header From my understanding, it's a pretty standard flange and most of the headers use the same one. SOOOOOOO, what are these "events" near Warner Robins you speak of? How 'bout that update? Screamer510 there are no events near wr lol.... they are Atlanta area :P ^^Actually there were a few odd ball ones in the last month or so. SF is planning a new one soon so keep an eye out! Theres one in Cordele GA which is pretty close to you from google maps. I'll have to get more info and keep posting. Are you on IA screamer? Quote Link to comment
collision and customs Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 It's a weld on style. I'll probly use a flex ball flange from Stan's Exhaust in Auburn Wa. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wheres the new wheel pics monkey?? Patience my friends! I just got them home 4 hours ago. lol Master-o-turbonetics dropped them in the bed of my truck while I was at work. They're 521 steelies and dog dishes. Gonna spray bomb them flat white tomorrow afternoon and polish up the dirty chrome dog dishes for a test fit :) Quote Link to comment
510kevin Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Good deal man, should look good with the steelies! Should be easier to go lower as well! Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Good deal man, should look good with the steelies! Should be easier to go lower as well! Yup! That's the main reason I got them. lol I have 75 series tires on the truck with 215's, and the bubbly sidewall won't clear the lip of the fender. Right now it's on lift shackles, so now I can put stock shackles on the truck and be tucking. Quote Link to comment

With blocks I'll be a few short inches from the ground. Where was your truck at??? Summerville, right in downtown, sadly on the way the vega's windshield got cracked by something on the highway. I was SO pissed, so i lost my extra set of rims and tires off the deal- and that guy still got a damn fine deal, hes lucky im a sucker for a datto. It's amazingly clean inside and out, few dings in the body, you can find some oics in the thread I started for it. I'm not trying to drop my truck on the ground, more of just an aggressive lower over some 15x10 rims with some street tires stretched over them, so would blocks be my best bet? We so need to get all these NC GA SC and TN guys together for a hell of a time, as soon as my 620 is a bit more put together the way id like. Quote Link to comment

Use 720 4x4 leafs, and air shocks to stiffen the ride and give you an adjustable ride height. We'll be setting up some meets soon ;) for now, Master-O-Turbonetics old rims! Quote Link to comment
