1988 Cutlass-F in a G-LS1/T56, Watts, Cage-Daily driver
I recently picked up this car and LOVE it. 1988 Cutlass with an 01 LS1/T56 (only 33k miles!) also has a 3 link rear suspension with Watts link, oh and a cage. This is my daily driver and I have a 6 yr old daughter that loves it as much as I do.
Whoever built this car did a TON of work. It has the complete f body underhood and interior harnesses. Including but not limited to-engine, trans, twilight sentinel, door latches, cluster, dash controls, seats and much more. Up till last night it also had cats, egr and a.i.r.
The front suspension has an old SC&C G-5 package. C5 rotors with LS1 calipers. SPC upper a arms and unknown brand tubular lowers. The rear has an eaton posh, 4.11 gears, Grand National axles, 3 link and the Watts with a serious anti roll bar.
I made my first real upgrades this weekend and installed f-body Pacesetter headers and an LS6 intake manifold. It gets tuned today.
I will post up some pics and wait for questions. I am not sure what all anyone wants to know.

It was a very good craigslist find. The ad was something like this, title- Racing Cutlass. ad said "1988 Cutlass LS1 6 speed manual built for racing" no phone number so I emailed him and didn't hear back for about 3 weeks. I was happy with what I spent :-) He had bought it off of ebay last year. I really wish I could figure out who built it.
We tuned it today and figured out that the throttle was only opening to 75%. It had actually been dyno tuned by the last owner. I cant imagine how much they were losing on that alone!
