I goofed up and deleted the previous thread. Turned out to actually be a few interested people so I'll try and get this thread up to speed.
Car is a 1998 GT with cobra bumpers and an R hood.
Was a turbo 5.4/th400 car I bought as a roller.
6pt cage
Built rear with an ARB and a custom fuel tank
Coilovers in the front
PA racing tubular k
And some other odds and ends
Out with the old
Let the tear down begin!
Car was an oily, greasy mess with modular harness strung out everywhere.
Engine bay degreased and flaming river manual rack installed.
Cleaned up the rear and pulled the fuel tank
Then I picked up this
06 LQ4 6.0 short block, Ls2 style rods/pistons
Pistons are fly cut for ptv clearance
Clevite 77 rod bearings
Arp rod bolts
Arp head bolts
Arp balancer bolt
Melling oil pump
Asp aluminum balancer
Ls2 hd timing chain
Thunder racing trex cam .242/.248 duration at .050 .608/.612 lift 110lsa
Ls7 lifters
Comp one piece pushrods
Patriot extreme gold .660 lift valvespring kit with titanium retainers
853 casting ls1 heads milled .065
Heavily ported on intake and exhaust ports with polished combustion chamber.
Engine is 11.6:1 compression and pump gas friendly.
Painted the bay and test fit the long block.
Got my exhaust. Custom 1 7/8 primaries with 3.5" collectors with v-bands into a 3" x pipe
Also got my trans and converter
FTI built TH400 with a RM valve body and transbrake. Should be good for 1,000.
They also built a custom billet 9" 4,700 stall converter for me. Highly recommend these guys.
TCI flexplate let me put it all together and wrestle it into the car
Hung all my f-body accessories and hung the exhaust after cutting and rewelding my UPR mounts.
