Keep it up stingraymaniac. Your particular stroker is a curious one. Breaking the tires loose kinda tells it... *****.
I am weeks from ordering my own 396 sb (I hope!). But many months away from a runner.
Run it but love it too.
Your Vette is looking great! For having good weather there, the air quality doesn't look too good. It looks pretty smokey behind the car in the second photo.
Big car meet yesterday in town upwards 10000 cars, and a big cruising afterwards, car performed good, goes alittle hot after alot of standstill but no overheating

I'm back!
this vinter i have changed over to Borgesson steering
Gonna feel great to not have the sloppy steeringFirst, out with the old stuff
the new box and parts
Friend of mine does powder coat so he coated some stuff chrome, looks great 😎
Made my own bracket for the box
gonna powder coat it black
Painted the box before install 🙂
installed, had to really tighten the lines for it to seal, but works now
Good to see you round maniac. My car has since finished and I am running the same Blueprint 396 stroker as you. I did go Holley Sniper FI with it, which I think is a big plus.
Nice on the ever improving with your car. I'm sure it rocks.
New vinter with 35 inches of snow outside, time for some more mods..
always had a horrible wheelhop and now i have taken the whole back end apart, gonna change the old rubber bushings in the trailingarms to joint bearings, so alittle welding is required
bought the bearings with weldable housings, they fit great into the hole when you take out all the old rubber and stuff, great for welding
i also welded inside the arm on the end as much i could then alittle cleanup
i also welded the arms along the side, the 70s welds was well spectacular to say the least, should be stronger now, gonna paint them next
Nice, never could weld well! Love the color too.
Anyone compared a 396 bb with the sbc version? Opinions?
That would be a good comparison. I think a stock-ish 396BB would get out paced by the well built BP 396sb, but a nice built up 396bb will be a good performer!
They would need to be compared in like vehicles for a great shootout IMO.
