Default C4 is coming along ..

Well its been a while since I posted, So thought I would let you guys/gals know what Im up to ..
After purchasing the 1985 C4 with 70K miles I talked to the Origional owners son, And he informed me that the car sat in a garage for over 20 years "untouched" Yea I know thats bad .
So I went ahead and replaced every single thing that was rubber except all the suspension bushings for which Im working on now ..
I got her running as good as I feel she would have ran from the factory.
But Now Ive decided to build her a brand new Motor
400 Small block Found a 509 unmolested block
Scat Crank , Scat rods / Wiseco Dome pistons 12:1 ratio With the New Promaxx 220 cc heads that have a 64cc chamber ..
Super Victor junior Intake 3,000 to 8,000 rpm range
and a 1,000 CFM Holley carb .. yes I have to cowl the hood i know
But Im still in the process of building the motor and setting my self up with a Hudlow 9" fully custom rearend .. As time goes on Ill try and post a few pics along the way... Heres what she looks like now compared to what she looked like when I got her.. First pic is when I got her 2nd is now

I like the white letter tires on your C4. First time I have seen that done.

Those wheels with those white lettered tires look great on your car. The original style wheels with lettered tires never looked good on C4's. Nice job!

Looks fantastic!! Either with the stock or Weld wheels but, the Welds sure make it stand out a little more. Nice '85!!
