Default 1973 Trans Am LS3/T56 Project

We came across this incomplete, 1973 Original Trans Am project. Originally White, but now Brewster Green, Black Deluxe Interior, and a rotisserie restored clean TX car. Powered by a fresh LS3, with ported heads, SI5v2 Cam, Edelbrock intake and SW headers. FLT built T56 w/31 spline output shaft, and Mcleod single disk. Full Pro-Touring F-body Suspension, Currie 9", Year One 17" Wheels with Nitto 05's. Has Baer brakes on all four corners. Pypes 2.5" Crossflow system. Almost all of the mechanical work is finished, and it is going out for fresh Brewster Green paint this month. It made 470RWHP through full exhaust.

*We hope to complete it for spring*

We completely took the car apart to restore everything properly. Progress Pics:













Once back from paint (and properly aligned body panels), we will machine a throttle body/air cleaner spacer to get us the right height and angle to appear as OEM would. We will also install the black deluxe interior, install body graphics, get the ride height set, along with a wheel alignment, and some seat time to work out any bugs.
