CHEVY MUSCLE CAR – PARTS BIN

By Nick Licata

Head Protection
Safety equipment is the most important thing that you will spend your money on as a racer, but that doesn’t mean you have to empty the piggy bank to afford quality equipment. The new Speedway Motors SA2020 Lightweight Racing Helmet is a great example. These helmets come with some impressive features, comply with the new SA2020 standards, and are surprisingly affordable.
For more information, contact Speedway Motors by calling (800) 979-0122 or visit speedwaymotors.com.

Wheel Vintiques is proud to introduce a newly re-tooled version of a classic truck design: the GM Pickup Rallye. The new 42 Series GM Pickup Rallye product line consists of three sizes, 15×7, 15×8, and 15×10, applied to two center designs, one with a 5×5 bolt pattern that features 16 rectangular windows and one with a 6×5.5 bolt pattern with 10 larger rectangular windows. The five-lug wheel offers direct fitment on any Chevrolet or GMC 1/2-ton, two-wheel drive truck from 1971 to 1998. All Wheel Vintiques wheels are made in the USA.

003-acp-2108-partsLT2K Pistons
Diamond’s highly regarded “2K” series of shelf-stock forged aluminum pistons for robust 2,000hp power adder builds has been expanded to include the LT2K model to complement Chevy Gen V LT1/LT4 cylinder heads. Forged from 2618 aluminum alloy, the LT2K pistons incorporate special inboard webbing to provide additional structural support for turbocharged, supercharged, or nitrous oxide–boosted applications. The crowns are 3-D milled for a perfect finish and the underside machined to remove any unnecessary weight. The pistons feature lateral gas ports to enhance ring sealing and come with a 1.5×1.5×3.0mm Total Seal piston ring package.
For more information, contact Diamond Pistons at (586) 792-6620, or visit diamondracing.net.

004-acp-2108-partsHigh-Output Coil
Aces Fuel Injection Blackjack Pro Ignition Coil is the perfect complement to the High Roller CDI ignition box and Blackjack Pro Series Distributor. It has a unique design that better dissipates heat and its square shape allows for easy mounting on a firewall or fender. The high-output coil puts out 50,000 V, or about 70 percent more spark energy over most stock applications, giving you a much hotter and larger spark to burn fuel more efficiently and provide smooth acceleration throughout the entire rpm band.
For more information, contact Aces Fuel Injection by calling (909) 244-9490 or visit acesfuelinjection.com.

Improvements include scalloped hubs and drive plates, stronger chromoly spindles, resigned wheel studs, and now come standard with the proven two-piece dynamic rotor design. Less rotating weight combined with increased strength and reliability will give the racer confidence that his/her car will be safe and perform every time. Floater kits are available in 4.75-, 5-, and 5.5-inch bolt patterns. For more information contact Strange Engineering at (847) 663-1701 or visit strangeeng.net.
