nice, what did that pan run you

 

I got it used for $130, new they are $150 on summt.

 

Let's see what's left..

- Mod radiator, connect the hoses, hook up the fan.
- Build hotside and retrofit the coldside for the turbo.
- Find a place for the trans cooler, run the lines and a find a place for the gauge.
- Install the shifter.
- Get a driveshaft built.

That's it really, then just need some seat time to get the driveabilty in the tune hammered out. My goal is to have it done by late feb/early march so I can do some shakedown passes at cecil. Then have all the bug's worked out by OCMD.

 

Radiator is done..

Jace (86lxnotch) did a awesome job as always.

 

who you gonna use for the driveshaft? You using a 1350 style ?
My Chevelle needs one too; I've contacted two out of state shaft shops already; just seeing if there's anything local to us.

Good job with the car !! Progress is good !

 

There is a truck shop up where the car is, name slips my mind at the minute but they will be shorting/balancing it. I was, but decided to just use a standard mustang u-joint sized shaft.

 

Little update..

Flange end's came..

Pace slowed a bit due to the holiday's, but I finally was able to order the last of my driveshaft part's today.

Let's see what's left:

- Get drive shaft built
- Mount trans cooler
- Mount shifter
- Build the turbo kit
- Modify the exhaust
- Swap front springs
- Bleed the brakes

Not much left.. It'll be making it's debut down OCMD for the Spring car show.

 

Good progress. Keep at it. And yes it is damn cold around here. 30-40s all week. Brrrr

 

Had some time to wrench on the car..Fan got mounted, trans dipstick installed, converter bolted up, trans cooler installed and driveshaft length measured... Should have the driveshaft end of the week then it's just the turbo kit left and a few minor things.

 

Made some good progress today. Turbo's hotside is all done. Just need's to be cleaned and painted..
