It drives i hooked a battery to it and it fired off brakes were weird-If it were me I would get the mechanical all sorted out first. Get the motor running first then address the brakes so that the car runs and drives. Past that it depends on if you want the interior done first or the paint.
So how do i get a hold of CurtisJust throwing this out there.
If it runs do a compression test and post up the results. If the numbers are low then do a leak down test as it may be the heads.
If the compression numbers are good the I would drop the pan and replace the oil pump drive shaft, oil pump, and oil pump pickup tube. From there I would either put a TFS kit on it (heeds, upper, lower and cam) or call Ed Curtis and have him spec it all out. Ditch the stock radiator and get a good two row aluminum unit. Your choice on the stock mechanical fan (if you keep it install a new fan clutch) or install an electric fan and whether or not you think the stock water pump is in good shape. You will need at minimum a 65 or 70mm throttle body and I would upgrade the MAF to a 75mm calibrated for some 30 lb/hr injectors. 24's might work but 30's would keep the duty cycle down low and the idle will be better. Upgrade the stock fuel pump to a 190 lpr and change the fuel filter.
I would also suggest you at a minimum go with 1-5/8" shorty headers, 2-1/2" H or X pipe, and your flavor of 2-1/2" cat back. That motor will need to breath.
No you should not need a tune for the car to run pretty well. Will a tune help? It won't hurt but it should not be necessary.
More than one way to upgrade the motor but if the stock short block is in good shape then no reason not to use it. You will make around 300 rwhp which is all kinds of fun in these cars.
As for the brakes just move up the SN95 stuff and go here:
Starting this thread with the hopes of reducing the number of 5-lug or general brake upgrade threads that have been appearing on the forums since most of the major brake conversion sites have gone down.
This thread will be strictly informational, and any off-topic banter or user specific questions will be deleted/edited at discretion of mods. I don't want this to turn into a 21-page thread where someone can't find the info they need.
WHat I need are people who are knowledgeable in specific conversions to write up threads detailing the parts they used and such. FOr example, someone...

Mustang5L5 did a great job getting all the info in that jewel of a thread.
So i like the look of Cobra Intake 1993 would you recommend that ?The Dealership I work for he is a great owner he lets me work on it up here. He also drag races GM products and I am over parts and service. I drive a raptor and he gives me someabout it jokingly but honestly, he is a great person.
So how do i get a hold of Curtis
I had a 2013 GT500 with 742 hp so I got married like a fool and thought I was getting a Porsche wife yet got a KIA sorento with a bad motor LOL. I did this one for me its something I am going to hold on to and I want it to be able to run in the 12"s in the quarter mile. The vehicle is bone stock it has the air box. So if i go b303 holley systemax and what heads?That car looks like a decent start. Looks completely stock under the hood. The cobra intakes are ok but the gt40 tubular intake is even better. A ported explorer intake will do better than both of them though. Personally, I like holley systemax intakes but they cost. 300 - 350hp is fun in these cars. With more than that you may have to check your pants, every once in a while, for brown marks.
One of the best mods I ever did was going to newer sn95 brakes. Gets you 5 lug for more wheel selection and way more braking power. You will want to keep fox length rear axles so you can get a nice offset tire in the back. The sn95 rear calipers and brackets will fit the fox rear end by flipping the brackets side to side and getting fox length 5 lug axles for disc brakes.
Several people here have had great results from the Tricklow top end kit ( TFS kit mentioned already ).
