T56

12 bolt. 4.11 posi, aftermarket axles and extended studs.

Solid frame and solid body

Will run and drive, needs some wiring help and exhaust to be roadworthy.

Engine is a 454 cu in. Big block out of a 1977 Suburban. Suburban was all original and had 40k miles. It has 781 cast heads, with a Edelbrock air gap intake and a Lunati cam kit 555” lift. It has Hedman long tube headers with no exhaust yet. Car has new fuel tank installed with electric fuel pump. It has an original 4 core radiator with an aftermarket electric fan.

Transmission is a T56 6 speed manual from a 97 Camaro SS. Shifts exactly how it should. It is mated to the engine with a McLeod Billet conversion flywheel and hydraulic slave cylinder. Can literally cruise down the highway at 70 mph with the engine rpms under 1500, even with the 4.11 gear out back.

The suspension has newer bushings throughout which helps it cruise and ride like a modern car even at higher speeds. Car has power brakes with disc in the front, sway bars front and rear, and boxed rear control arms. Car also has power steering.

Car rides on new wheels and tires. Front are 15x7 Kragars s/s and the back are 15x10 Kragar s/s.

As for the body. The roof, quarters and trunk lid were stripped to bare metal and primed to get ready for the little bit of metal work it needs. Trunk lid has been body worked and is arrow straight and is ready to be blocked and painted. Car still has its original quarters with no patch work, will need ver little metal work on them. Roof is very nice.Doors are not terrible and are very salvageable. Car comes with one brand new fender and will need a new one for the other side as the fenders on the car are for a 1968. Car has new aftermarket 2” steel bolt on cowl hood. All glass is intact. Floors seem to be solid as well.

As for interior. Car has bucket seats, driver seat has been completely restored with new foam, upholstery and trim, the other seats still need redone, but they come with the car. Carpet is useable as well. Tilt wheel, 7k rpm tach.

List of new parts that come with the car:

Dash pad

Package tray

Door panels

Headliner

Foam and upholstery for passenger seat and rear seat

Door handles

Lock set

Weatherstrip kit

I drove this car all over the place with a 383 small block

And then took the car apart to put the big block in it and haven’t been able to find the time to finish up, have to many projects.

Clean and clear title,

Happy Bidding
