Bromley's Corvettes Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Fun project at the shop a 80 vette getting 20X15s in the rear so full back half job like a Pro Street car but no cage and not going to be raced. It has a 454 c.i small block with F.I it put 580 h.p to the wheels with tiny crap exhaust and cats and smog pump. Its getting a 3.5 X-pipe system with no cats or smog so should put down 600 h.p when tuned. It also has a Tremec 5-speed so going to be a blast to drive with a 4.11 rear gear and low end tq We are also doing the front end with urethane bushings and coil overs and billet brakes. The rear is going to be a Fab 9 with alum center and billet 4 piston calipers and drilled and slotted rotors. The plan is to have it painted red and black interior with red piping and details.

Bromley's Corvettes Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Up date on big wheel vette. It took a little cutting and welding and fabbing but got the huge ace wheels to fit They are 32 inch tall and 18 wide lol. Dont think hes going to have any problem hooking up his 600h.p motor lol.

Final Effort Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 What are you using for the rear end, 9"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley's Corvettes Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yes Fab 9 with alum center and coil overs and ladder bars. Basic drag car set up even no hes not really going to do much racing. More of a wild street car for fun. He just wanted huge wheels under his vette because its not something you see to often.

Guest Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I love the look and the concept. I like every type of Vette but the sharks are my favorite and respond really well to customization. Good stuff and great seeing the owner take it in this direction. You ROCK, Doug! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to put a blower on the small block that fits under a stinger or L-88 hood. Would not be hard to get at least 1000h.p like that so it should get him by into he wants to switch to a big block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayeagle Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 L-88 hood on that Vette would look great. (sort of a factory peice too Sounds like he's gonna have enough hp to let the smoke outta them back tires when it needs it too Very cool .. should be an awesome ride. -Frank aka GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
