Well here goes guys some of you might remember me getting this car a while ago. I have debated for the last year on whether to build an aod or go 5 speed. I got a whole t5 setup and im back to thinking that maybe i will keep her an auto mainly because i know the t5 will never hold the power my 347 with nitrous is gonna make.
And i dont have the money to dump into a good 5 speed tremec.But who knows i have a while to think about it.
So yesterday a buddy and me started tearing her down to get the engine ready to pull out.I will be doing an egr/emmissions delete and hiding wires. I plan on welding most of the wholes and boxing in the frame rails as well. It will probably be slow going but i will try to update as often as possible. I wish i had more pics of the parts.
The list includes
mexican block 347
eddy performer heads
custom nitrous cam
anderson power pipe
pmas meter
36lb injectors
pete jackson noisy gear drive
eddy wet nitrous kit
eddy upper and lower
mass air conversion
aluminum rad
a/c delete
smog delete
130 amp alt upgrade
255lph fuel pump
6 point roll cage
full length frame connectors
built 8.8 with 373's and spool and girdle
upper and lowers havent bought yet
black bullits and five lug conversion with bigger brakes up front
black interior conversion
AS you can see i have a lot of work and lots of parts. I pretty much have everything for the engine except a gasket kit. the bottom end is assembled i just have to put the top end on it. I hope i can finish it by spring but its gonna be alot of work. I have everythig plus some of that list minus the control arms and whatever else im forgetting that i have. The body will be painted and dealt with last.
Bad news....
After pulling the front end off i found out that it was in accident and fixed. I dont know how bad it is it looks like its been repaired but the inner fenders are still twisted in one spot on the driver side. But it has dent puller holes and its been welded it just doesnt look pretty. Dont know where to go from here. The front end looked fine when it was bolted on so who knows. There is two small holes in the floor pan on the driver side so i will have to deal with them.
