Hey guys my build up is almost done. Its so close to running I can taste it. sorry my pics are much further along. I got my kit through some old fashioned horse trading techniques. Its about 5 years old and was on on 86 svo built by a guy named mike House i think he used to get on here? I am on a budget and this has taken me awhile to put together. I think some of the parts will soon be overwhelmed by the possiblitys of this build.

Its a 89 dove grey lx hatch
351w rebuilt by me
stock crank and rods, arp rod, head, and main bolts
forged dished pistons .030
afr 185 cylinder heads
xe284h cam 240/246 .541/.544 110lsa (hopping to get a engle grind soon)
Performer RPM
mallory locked dist 36 deg timing
6AL BTM
4 year old CSU demon 750 (now has BRPV built through the sticky posted up)

Turbo: Air Reaserch 83mm .95/.96 turbo built by Majestic turbo
huger front mount inercooler, had to remove bumper and cut out some of the cover to get it to fit.
flipped shortys, Applied technologies waste gate run back into the down pipe 3.5 and need to finish running back, spectra carb hat with 1" spacer

Fuel: summit 800hp pump(aka aeromotive sunami), aero motive regulator, -10 pickup to -8 feed and return.

suspension:QA1 kmember, stock control arms, svo calipers, stock struts, and stock cut springs.
8.8 with south side upper and lowers,3:73 (will soon have 3:31 take-outs from an 07)
bolt in rollbar, rear battle boxes.

Trans: c-4 with alto clutch kit, kevlar bands, rev Manuel valve body, TCI ssfr 3500 converter.
and stock drive shaft, hope it lastes!

I am looking for around 700hp which I believe will be the limit for the bottem end. probably around 10-12 psi ounce I get a rear end worth a crap than it may see more. I can replace a motor but I dont like rotating compoents blowing up. I also have a line on a power glide but I want to keep this thing on the street as a mean steet car. I don't want a track queen. I am glad to be able to finally post up some of my own stuff after looking at so many bad ass projects on here after the years

That looks pretty nice.

One question, what made you go with a 3.5" DP with that much motor and turbo? I would think 4" to be the smaller limit for it. You could be holding back potential HP in my opinion. I'm not a guru though so maybe I'm wrong. Either way, the car looks great and I hope it does what you want it to.
