I love this body style. Where is the motor coming from? Lets get this thing started.
Technically he has finished a project but (in my opinion) let it go to soon. But, if it paved the way for this one then I am good with it.
White car taught me everything I DONT want on this car.
Motor is coming from Texas, been bouncing around the country since the 22nd, holidays slowed it down pretty good. 80k 01 WS6 dropout, has an Ls6 block (yay for better oiling I guess
), LS6 intake and 241 heads. Nothing to write home about yet. Will probably go in bone stock, might throw the blower cam in it while the motors out though.
Rear end and fuel system are built to support 4-digit power so no worries there.
I've been talking with a guy from RPM about what it would take to make my t56 a fbody/cobra hybrid but it's just not going to be cost effective. I refuse to hack up my console, but think I'll be able to keep it factory looking in that aspect. Then to tackle the clutch hydraulics.
I've got a box full of brand new LS AC components but think I'm going to fab up a bracket and use the ford compressor. Whole cobra system is intact and sealed still.
Power steering conversion using the GM pump is done. Will retain hydroboost brakes as well so that's cool.
I've got a PSI harness, stock harness and a couple ECUs but they're getting sold so I can go Holley EFI again. Planning to make all the factory gauges functional, that will be fun.
Ordered black 18" FR500s to replace the ugly draglites so my back room has become a parts warehouse. Got some floor mats I'm way too excited about too.
Ordered my Toyos today, who knows when they'll come in.
AJE stuff and fuel rails will be here tmrw so that'll give me something to do.
