86 Trans Am project I have been planning on going single turbo on my 86 Trans Am for the longest, i got a few parts ready for a 5.3 swap and get it set up for boost, have a pan, an intake (vic Jr), and a selection of exhaust manifolds to use for the hot side. But, a guy offered to trade me my Vic Jr for a few turbo parts and i just couldnt turn it down, here is the project:
Here are the parts:

Nice dude, and I agree, it can be done, just have to alternate months or split the money LOL. I have a 1999 Formy I am restoring, a 1989 Formy toy/6.0 and a 1983 Van/hauler.
You, like me, are probably just the type of person that can't leave anything alone. Even when the GFs car breaks, I mod it with aftermarket stuff.
That's a nice clean bird to start with though, is it just primer?

Alright, got a few more things, Vic Jr intake, 6010 controller, TH400 from TCI, cam and engine plates.
Cam is supposed to be a Patriot grind, 225/229 @.050, .581/.591 on a 114, so i think it will work well with boost with a 114 LSA, I wanted a cam that would work on motor till i got the rest of everything else together.
Going to go next week and see if i score a 5.3 with 243 heads for about 400$, then use the 243s on my 89 RS and then swap out some 241s or 317s onto the 5.3 short block.
I will be running a holley HP carb on motor till i get the blow through built or bought, then i need a BOV and WG for the boost, then, all i should have left is a fuel system that will cope(A1000 and regulator) and plumbing for the turbo routing.
