Re: Larry's 49 Chevy gets a 500 hp LS3
Just got this weighed 3400 lb 485 hp = 7lb per hp. Will be interesting to find out what rear wheel hp this will make on the dyno. Ride Tec coil overs and springs are on their way.

Re: Larry's 49 Chevy gets a 500 hp LS3
A little up date, car has been aligned, body wrapped, Ride Tec coil overs and springs installed,all the glass installed. Took this to a cruse night last Wednesday, drew a lot of comments, this is running Realy Rich--- but is half ass Scary to drive--- feels like it's pulling the left front wheel off the ground. Hooks up just like it should , Tuner says he should be able to get me 425 HP to the rear wheel will be a lot of fun --to stay out of JAIL .Headed to Polson Mt to get Dyno tuned -- will trailer it there. Car has come out great I'm happy with the way it has turned out. Getting this upholstered will be the next step.I wish this sight would allow Video, for a tour of the progress. Larry

wow, way to go!
sounds frighteningly powerful.
do you know how much your car weighs? the power to weigh ratio must be very high.

Re: Larry's 49 Chevy gets a 500 hp LS3
so that would make a bout 6.8 lbs per HP
as compared to the Tercel4wd, that is about 40 lb/hp in stock form. even with double the hp with a nice 4age, the Tercel4wd would still be about 20lb/hp.
I seem to recall anything at 10 lb/hp was considered very powerful, you got that beat by a long way.

Re: Larry's 49 Chevy gets a 500 hp LS3
Holy smokes, that's really nice Larry. Did you find a local company to do the upholstery or did you have to order and ship stuff?
Don't worry about the pictures, they are all right side up when I clicked on them.

this was done by a guy who has done cars for Can Digit from Salt lake city Chip Foose type builder ---- 43,000$ but worth it.
