I did a similar flip kit in the rear of my 88 suburban but without a Notch and I even used shock relocation brackets I don’t see how you drove that thing without the shocks constantly bottoming out because that’s what mine is doing.
@gordonsmartАй бұрын
Pretty sure we went back and put shock extensions on this one after the video was posted. Vehicle is gone now.

Wasn't GM so cheap that they just cut off 4 cylinders on a 305 small block V8 making the displacement the biggest for a 4 cylinder at the time? Definitely a boat anchor of a motor and such a cheap car that could have had the basic luxuries at a cheap price like standard a/c, power windows, power steering and a better radio. GM still loves to nickle dime their customers. Precisely why the Japanese came over here with their vehicles and changed the game and put cum all over the faces of the American car companies.

At the very least the heads aren’t original. The 327 valve covers won’t fit the original 283 heads because of the early staggered bolt pattern.

The engine looks more like a 327 than a 283. Could just be the valve covers. Does this car have a positraction rear and what gear ratio is the rear?

You could be correct on engine size. Not a posi. Not sure on gear ratio.
