Most of you know the story of this car. We'll after about 6 months of work and finding parts, i finally have the body and motor put together and the car is back up and running. Thanks to benny(phat50)for all the help through the whole thing, to all the people on cafords that sold me parts or gave me advice, and brandon(silverlx)for finishing it up for me.

Looking pretty on the welds, cant't wait to get it to the track [Big Grin]

Posted by 86- 50 (Member # 4723) on :

The intake fells good on the car, but i have a little higher compression also, I don't think it's smog legal but i have that covered anyways.

It's a 306, with 10.5 compression, ported svo aluminum turbo swirl heads, custom grind cam, spyder intake with 30 pound injectors, with long tubes and 3" all the way to the back. Not sure what it's going to run don't like to guess, but also have a 150 shot of nx, just need to get it on there and tuned and then we'll see.

About 6 months ago someone stoled it from 88gt and striped it pretty bad, bumpers, hood interior, motor and tranny, some of the suspension,gas tank and cut all fuel lines, cut wiring harness and brakes. I bought it from him cause of the body and got it back together.
