Default 3rd gen gets new mods

Since we are taking the 88 3rd gen to Bowling Green in September, hubby has added a few new mods:

our 88 Z has an LS1 from 2000 Z

Homelink compass/temp mirror
GMMG exhaust
FLP longtube header
Transco shift kit
3600 yank converter
SLP airlid
LS6 painted intake

here's a few pics

How much does the total package weigh and what does it run at the track?

Nice project, I think I would of just dealt with the motor and drivetrain and maybe remove the stock gauges for some nice aftermarket in dash units. You really put some work into that car.

damn, talk about some fabbing, expecially the dash. I've seen it done but I still can't get over how well it looks in the 3rd gen. that's some sweet work.

we don't intend on track racing the car. it's my husbands daily driver. The car has been through some serious changes
history:
husband has owned the car since new in 1988. Started it's life as an 88 IROC hardtop.

then he chopped the top for t-tops

interior then

in 2000 we clipped the car again for LT1 motor and suspension.

redid interior again

then in Oct 2002 the car was flooded, so out goes the LT1 for LS1

we are running LS1 motor, suspension, wiring, tranny, interior... well everthing is now 4th gen except the actual body.

i have no idea. I guess we need to take it somewhere to weigh it - that's a common question we get asked.

This car is awesome, I've seen it at Autorama quite a few times in its lifetime. I've also seen it up close when they bring it out for cruise nights. The car is awesome!

This car is awesome
My sentiments exactly! I was lucky enough to get to check the car out, along with all the other toys around the shop, when Tim painted my car after some jack*ss keyed it. He does awesome work and is the only person in the Houston area I would let touch my car for paint!
