    This: Led to this: led to this: had the car scaled and aligned (3 times, long story itself) and finally what I thought was track shake down ready. Had it out one day to drive it around a bit and finally took my wife for a spin. We get a few miles from the house and the car is feeling slower...

    Progress Thread 235 radial coupe build

    Lol, this is quite the trial run. On a side note, after somehow delaying for years, I finally bought a trailer yesterday so I can get my car finished up and drag it out to a race track. So we’re making progress

    Progress Thread 235 radial coupe build

    So new combo will need to make about 700-800hp more than this one so that means it’s got to start from scratch. That’s driveline, fuel system, turbo kit, suspension, etc. Current combo is sold and will hopefully be yanked out this week. New combo will be dart block based with a significantly...

    Progress Thread 235 radial coupe build

    Going to start a build thread, figure some of you may be interested. Building the car to run in a 235 drag radial class. Its a really clean car, just a little dated now. Current combo is a 306, small t4 turbo, Hellion kit, AOD and an 8.8 with some decent parts. Stock suspension, 8.50 cage...

    Question for the 4-digit hp crowd

    Custom turbo should be here any day now. Will get the new front in welded on this coming weekend and then yank out this drivetrain. Everything from balancer to diff cover is sold. Looks like this car is going to be hanging around a while lol

    Question for the 4-digit hp crowd

    The class is gas/e85 only, it’ll be run on E85. We will run either an ultra legal cast 76 or a turbo specific to the class if one becomes available. DXP235 is the class it’s being built to run. Front runners in that class run 5 teens at 3200-3400lbs so about 1200-1300fwhp

    Question for the 4-digit hp crowd

    Here’s the most on-topic SBF related post you’ll probably ever see me make. I’ve had a coupe in my shop for the last month or so putting a Holley EFI system on the turbo 306 combo. Made some small changes to the turbo kit, fuel system and just general wiring cleanup. It’s a really solid car...

    Got the re-wire wrapped up, threw some new headlights in it and mounted an LED behind the dash to help see the relay panel at night. Fired it up and put some heat in it. Need to put some 93 octane in it tomorrow and let it run a bit. But we’re at least back to square one now. The starter...

    Engine foxbody Ls swal

    Can’t ballpark you a price but you can retain the foxbody radiator no problem. You need: Engine mounts (aftermarket k member is best option but not mandatory) Specific headers, or can swap flanges on SBF headers A converter and transmission compatible with the LS platform Correct length...

    Had to get a little creative with the Dremel but the 3.5” screen is back in action

    Got the wiring cleaned up. Starter is now wired independent of the rest of the electronics. Hopefully does the trick. Also got the radio delete installed, just need to mount the 3.5” touch screen to it.

    Slowly tackling what turned into a spaghetti monster. Not being able to get under the dash to add/modify turned into a mess. After I had some issues Sunday, decided enough was enough. Going to overhaul the starter circuit and while I’m in here, wire up the lights and windows and make it to...

    Build Thread The Hoopty Chronicles - New House, New garage, New Car?

    I’m glad to see you keep it man. I think we’re in pretty similar boats. My shop time has been reduced by 90% or more in the last few months. While that is self-imposed, I made some mistakes early on and spent too much time trying to keep doing things the way I did pre-child. Have to strike a...
