Default Procharged 383 in 77

Just an update. the procharged 383 is up and racing. Just thought I would post an update. The procharger also clears the hood if you notch it unerneath with a die grinder(fyi). This does not affect cosmetics on the exterior. Also my main problem was with the home built carb. Kevin from Csu converted me over to ethanol and with some minor jet changes and a pump cam its off to the races. Surprisingly the corvette chassis takes a lot of power very well. but if anyone knows of those corvette reinforcement kits please let me know because I would like to do them asap. Cage recommendations are very welcome.

Cool! Got any times/MPh yet?

Tom's makes some reinforcing plates for the rear...Van Steele has them too. I'm sure Drag Vette also.

Might ck with Pef427 here on the forum. He has a new Drag Vette setup with everything he's selling. Might be able to cut a deal!
