New to the Forum 91' GT Project

[rzrbck]

Hey All,
I recently picked up a 91' GT from a good friend of mine who has had it for the last few years and has put maybe 100 miles on it. He was kind enough to rebuild the TKO in it for me and redo most of the interior. Motor had a fresh rebuild on it when he purchased it. I should thank his Old Lady for griping at him to make more space in his shop cause I got a steal of a deal on it! Anyways, It's a pretty strong running car. I'm fairly certain it has a set of gears in it too. I'm not sure which way to take it as of yet. I am enroute to the desert for the next 7 or 8 months so ideas or advice will be greatly appreciated. Definitely want some sort of P/A just not sure what yet. Here are some pics of the fine lady. Hope you enjoy!

Pretty good looking car. Welcome!

Looks pretty clean

 

[rzrbck]

Thanks Guys, I think the next big step is going to be a 5 lug conversion. Guess it's time to read up!

Get rid of that intake and put a stock one back on, you'll thank me later.

Believe it or not, I'm a Chevy kind of guy minus the Fox's!

You referring to the hot air intake Guy?

You referring to the hot air intake Guy?

Why yes sir I am

 

[rzrbck]

Mr. Crane,
Why is that? By hot air you mean cause it isn't running through the fender?

 

[stykthyn]

Its going to suck up all the heat coming off the headers.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

That and the fan can possibly **** with the MAF

 

[stykthyn]

I changed from the under the hood to an in the fender style and it helped smooth my idle a lot.

 

[Boss 351]

You guys still running filters these days? lol

Nice clean looking hatch! The 5 lug and new wheels will complete this car nicely. +1 on the hot air intake.

Could you elaborate a little for me? Like I said It's been a while since I've messed with this stuff.
Also,
It idles very smooth minus a little cam lope, I'll be sure to look into a new one though. Like I said, any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!

 

[rzrbck]

Oh Crane, I looked through your build of the road race gt. Awesome stuff. Looks great, especially the door panels. Kudos.

 

[stykthyn]

Ideally you want 6" of straight pipe before the maf. On a side note your car looks killer. I wish I had a pearl gt.

Gotcha, I'm seriously debating on all black to match the truck and bike. Idk, white does kind of grow on ya. Maybe white with black wheels? I have a while to figure all this stuff out. Lot's of reading and ogling of pictures will be done in the upcoming months!
