Just finished buttoning up some loose ends…

1975 Chevrolet Laguna S-3, Silver with Maroon Striping, Maroon Interior, Bench Seats. (Rarest year, rarest color, rarest interior)

31,000 original miles, I also have the original bill of sale, window stickers, key cutouts, original spare, and all the original parts that were replaced with performance parts.

The goods:  
Stock bottom end  
GM performance vortec heads (small port)  
COMP XE268H-10 Duration @ 0.050" 224°/230° Lift .477"/.480  
GM 1.5 Ratio Rockers  
Edelbrock Performer Vortec Intake Manifold  
Barry Grant Speed Demon 650 / No choke, Mechanical Secondaries  
MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wires  
DynoMax Ceramic Headers’  
2.5" X-pipe / Hooker Aero Chambers True Dual Mandrel Exhaust  
Made4you Wire Holders  
K&N/Edelbrock Filter  
Stainless steel transmission lines, fuel lines, and brake lines in the rear end.  
TH400 Transmission  
2500 Stall Converter

Everything that could be unbolted from the car from the firewall forward and all suspension/drivetrain parts including all hardware was bead blasted and powdercoated. Frame/Firewall was prepped and painted as well.

Not a frame off restoration, the frame from the firewall back was simply sprayed from underneath. We didnt want to take it that far, and wanted to keep it driveable. The car was in great shape to begin with, only 30,000 miles.

Still needs some fine tuning, but runs pretty good right now… it really needs gears. It has stock 308’s in it now, and needs 373’s or 411’s, the car is REALLY heavy.

I’ll take some better photos this week, sorry about the cell phone photos.
