Here is the progress of my 94 gmc sonoma

Looking real good dude, that's one sweet ride already!

BW, what's the status of your car? Any chance I can get that aluminum driveshaft before BG?

 

[Quick6'n'-K.C.]

I have to get back to the track again and see if the car still picks up 26.xx with this convertor when i get the car back together.

As of now, im slammed. Literally got 5 irons in the fire and i doubt i will see you before BG. With the weather right now, and my schedule, i most likely will just run my car with the setup it has at BG. Once the 400 is in, then we can talk.

Take it easy

Looking gorgeous, Ryan. One thing, don't forget to roll (or maybe weld, or add external link bars) a bead on each end of each intercooler pipe so the clamp can't slide over the bead and let the hose come off under boost. You may have to make up a link bar setup to keep the pipe on the throttle body where the lip is so short and there is no bead. At 30 psi boost with a 3" pipe the force trying to blow the pipe off is 212 lbs, and with a 4" pipe it's 377 lbs, so don't be shy when you pull on each joint to make sure it is tight . It's a small thing and easy to overlook, but ask John Csordas how frustrated he was with his new Skylark last year at BPG in Columbus when he was blowing off a hose on every pass for two or three days only running 7 psi boost.

Thanks for the heads up but we actually have that done on all the pipes already, but we dont have a link bar setup up. good looking out!

[TurboV6Sonoma]

[TurboV6Sonoma]

[TurboV6Sonoma]

here is the start of the dash and door panels. I say start because It has no gauges yet and the door arm rest arent done yet! but We have made some good progress, pretty much all the wiring is done. amongst many other things.

Man if I had known you where going to do all that to that truck, I might have been able to save you some time. My cousin has that same truck FOR SALE but it has a blown 383 in it and has been 7.90s and is some what streetable. He started a new buisness and doesnt have time for it any more.
