The power meets the pavement through a TCI H400 three-speed attached to a B&M Street Bandit shifter, with a 3500-rpm stall converter from the Converter Shop. the rear is a ford 9-inch housing, packed 4.30 gears, a detroit locker and Moser 33-spline axles. inland Empire driveline Service cooked up a custom driveshaft for Gorjans as well.
The body rides on a Chassis Engineering squaretube frame that includes a 14-point rollcage that's NHRA certified to run down to the 8.50 mark in the quarter. the car also features Aldan Eagle coilovers at all four corners that help the Weld wheels (15x4 front/15x14 rear) stay planted to the track. Up front, the Welds rock Mickey thompson rubber, 26x7.5, and Hoosier Quick time Pro mammoth dot-approved meat at the rear, 31x18. the business-like interior includes Kirkey racing seats with Crow 5-point belts, and some Auto Meter gauges. The exterior swatch is Cranberry Pearl.
The car recently ran down some eighth-mile passes at the irwindale dragstrip. true to the Pro Street movement, the car did extremely well at the hands of Gorjans, who first ran a 6.484 at 105.53 mph, and backed that up with an even quicker 6.324 at 111.35 mph (the latter, after some quick math, equates to approximately a 9.90 in the quartermile).
According to the owner, he couldn't have done it without the help of the guys at www.motorsportsvillage.com-guys who basically helped him tune the small-block over the web-as well as the aid of his friend Mitch Howe, who fabricated the exhaust and helped get the cage up to NHRA spec. We're glad that he decided to look back to his roots in the muscle movement to build this badass Pro Street machine.
