Midway Round two

Had some tough luck with a engine builder in Houston with a 455 build. Started over with a fresh 455 core as the other build would have taken more effort to fix than it was worth. The new build is a 495 stroker ( DSS) with a comp custom roller cam , roller rockers , mondello intake ( powder coated) , fast efi , mondello bottom end girdle, cnc'd edelbrock heads with oversize valves. While the engine is being put together the following work was done. Rear wilwood discs ( front already done), hydro boost brake kit , posi rear end w/3:43 gears , powder coat rear axle assy , widen rear rims ( will take 295/50 R15's), powder coat rims , powder coated the rad support , fresh Goodrich T/A's with single redline , install push button start , electronic door / trunk opener and locks , installed W31 wheel well covers. Hoping to have it on the road by mid to late June. Will pics in the folder once it is all done.

More pics in my album.

They were done at a shop in Saskatoon Saskatchewan named Kelvins Wheels. They are 15 X 10 now and take a 295/50 R15 no problem. With the offset spacing we used we will only have to do so minor rolling on the fender well lip and have good clearance even when the suspension is compressed.
