How to get your G body to hook on a budget!

[@johng2779]

I bought one back in the day for fifty bucks put a three hundred dollar 73 olds 455 in it and was beating turbocharged grand nationals. The regal wss sick looked like it was sick too till you mashed rhe gas ran it for three years then pulled rhe motor and junked it 😊.good ol days. Late 90s i did that

[@bluecheezeracing]

I wish I could get one for 50 bucks now!

[@davidincognito7285]

My dad's buddy had a G body Cutlass supreme with a 455 swapped into it. That thing would light em up like nobody's business. That guy is the reason I'm into G body's today!

[@mittenmof0517]

My step dad's first car was a 71 charger he got for 50 bucks and some weed

A cheap brake upgrade is front calipers from a s10 blazer. Dual piston not single.

[@bluecheezeracing]

Very true! But I’m looking for a light weight option!

[@mikekerr4594]

I had to go to the garage and look and then Google rag joint. Thanks for that info man, I had no idea.

[@bluecheezeracing]

Awesome that can get scary if one rips!

[@SS-en8gx]

Blazer or bravado brakes and knuckles will give you bigger rotors dual piston calipers and sealed bearings and will bolt in no mods. I used year 2000 … two wheel drive only.

[@bluecheezeracing]

Correct! Only thing is I’ll be doing lightweight brakes something f I’m strange or TBM so that’s why I didn’t do that mod !

Thankyou! New video this weekend!

[@crazyhorseracing6130]

Where do you have your back shocks adjusted at?? Thanks for the videos!!

[@bluecheezeracing]

Depends on the type of racing but generally a little bit on the loose side for the extension and more firm on the compression. Maybe 3-6 clicks from full lose on extension And generally 10 clicks or so from full lose on compression give or take

[@sleedog11]

hey man i know its kinda late now but I am struggling to find taller upper ball joints in Canada. i was wondering if you had a part number or cross reference i could use to find them. Thanks!

[@thehouseofhorsepowerautobo4506]

Great video brother! I'm digging blue cheese! Will that jeep steering shaft work for my 71 nova?

[@bluecheezeracing]

I’m not sure but I feel like It would

Jeep Cherokee mod works on 79 and up, 78 is it's own thing and does not accept that steering shaft. 78 sucks for this and many other reasons. best front end though lol

[@RockBottomGarage]

Have any links to the rear suspension stuff? I won a nitrous 582 BBC at war in the woods from Jeff Thomas. Makes over 900 hp on motor. Not sure my 8.5 will appreciate it.. lol This will be my winter project. All I know is the stock suspension won’t cut it. Sure would appreciate any information you care to share.

[@bluecheezeracing]

That’s badass! I don’t have the links but TRZ Motorsports would be the place to get a whole kit!

[@donnellrogers858]

Hey man, where do u have you front shocks set at? I have set for my 87 and need a good starting point. Thanks for sharing

[@bluecheezeracing]

It varies on each surface but a good start is maybe 10 clicks a from full soft on extension and 14-15 clicks from full soft on compression

[@inscoredbz]

Where did you find adjustable upper control arm mounts? Are those for a 8.8 and made to work with the gm rear?

[@bluecheezeracing]

I have a 12 bolt in my car , I believe the brackets will remain the same but if you run a 8.8 you get the 8.8 swap control arms. Here is the link to the upper chassis brackets! I had to modify my upper control arms to shorten them up but it is nice having the adjustability! www.trickchassis.com/product/upper-instant-center-brackets/

[@inscoredbz]

@@bluecheezeracing I didn't know they offered those. Those on top and the adjustable on the bottom should make a huge difference.

[@bluecheezeracing]

@@inscoredbz yessir! Big gains! Especially on no prep!
