Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

Dropping by-has been awhile. Car still looking amazing while make Tran brake launches and Boosty noises?
Just been using it ! Took it for ice cream in 100 degree weather the other night was torcher LOL

This one should be done this week , was a gt40 headed deal that ate the cam . I did a Holley in it the end of 22.

Now it’s got alum heads , systemax , tfs stage 2. Made 350 on the engine dyno if I remember correctly. Getting a blower eventually. Also did mm k member , arms and front coil overs.

Car still looks amazing buddy. I’m digging the two project cars also. Do you think the Holley upgrade would be worthwhile on a fairly stockish iron headed 306 :thinking:


Also that cougar :drool:
I put them on everything , if you know what you’re doing and can read the instructions with what they want during the install they have been flawless for me . I have had one since 2017 and I think I’ve installed 5-7 already

Love all the car pics, but especially yours with that black monte carlo SS. Was looking at one when I was 16, an 86 with very low miles. Took one ride in my friends 87 gt and I never looked back. Got my 89 gt and here I am today!
I saw a grey Buick T-type on the highway today! After the Mustang, that style (Grand National or T-type) is the one I want! Monte SS was cool…….. but might be a distant 3rd 4th or 5th! lol

That’s what we said like a pic right out of the late 80s early 90s on any happening street scene

That car is soooooo Good. One of these days I’ll drive mine to a cruise/show-i haven’t in 13 years-But…. One day :rlaugh:
Mannn I take this thing to work and other stuff more then I do shows :lol:

Took it to work 2 times this week , from work to barber shop and home . Probably drove it over 200 miles this week alone
 
Guess it’s been a minute ?

Motor popped in my belair , crank broke cruising home I jumped on it to make a light and most violent failure ever. Have a little hotter 396 back in it already but re doing a lot so not done . Getting a 4l80e and circle d converter

My coupe ran fantastic All summer it needs some maintenance love now .

I finally ordered a 33 sspline tru trac , got a set of moser 33s coming for it with half inch screw in studs - 9 inch ends no more c clips

Axle tubes will be welded like my current rear and it’s getting a 1350 mark Williams yoke and a sonnax yoke on aod side

Some other stuff like plugs , timing cover gasket etc clean motor all up from driving it all year

Then at some point a bar or 10pt to be legal to hit some TNT safety and maybe a DND eventually. I’ve already been wayyyy too fast without one.
