Thats what I kinda figured..and sorry to get your hopes up but my pic was just a copy from a google search. Just a fan of good looking 3rd gens and even better looking women!

 

Haven't updated this in awhile, well because I haven't had anything to update. Well got 95% of everything to get it moving again and should have it at the Holley LSFest.

 

Holy wow. That is gorgeous. I really want to see what this car will do. I gotta convince the wife to get out to the LSFest this year.

Thanks. Its been a long road at almost 5 years now but It'll soon all be worth it.

 

Looking badass! More work, less post!!!

 

Getting there. Hotside mounted, my 6 core intercooler is in and cold side either in or mocked up ready to get tigged up. 408 motor with TFS heads will be finished this weekend so will be swapping out motors. Soon... SOON....

 

looks good stephen nice welds and fab work also. i cant wait to see it in person and get the motor from you at Ls race. this makes me want to start on my own pile.

 

very nice work. you certainly have pulled the engine a time or two. awesome build.

 

I'm a pro now at pulling the motor out of this things. 90% of the time its not because i wanted to...

Oh my SS Hood was stolen out of my front yard last weekend... Still pretty pissed about this so if you see a thirdgen with a Blue and black SS hood and then the underside of it has what looks like a fat "T" shape cut out of it. Please let me know.

On a plus side new 408 motor is in, Specs are:
Arias Pistons, No dish this time
Billet Rods
Billet Crank
Custom Spec Cam From Ed Hutchings
Link Bar Lifters
TFS 235 heads with a "little" work done to them
Harland Sharp Rockers
then of course topped off with the Holley Hi-Rise and a NW 102 TB.
Also decided to sump the tank and run a Holley Dominator External Pump.

Getting close to the deadline but I'm confident it'll run for LS-Fest.

"We could push it across the finish line... or tow it..."

 

Talk about down to the wire... Holley Dominator pump and all Lines ran to the fuel rails, then back to the regualtor then returned to the tank.
Wiring harness is in. Got a few more wires to hook up or extend.
Turbo Cold side is almost done. Few more odds and ends and hopefully fire it up today or first thing tomorrow.

 

In for vids

Although did not finish the car in time we still took it to LSFest. Ran into a couple little issues at the last minute and instead of rushing it just took it as is. Got the last few things coming so it should be running in a week and get some shake down in so we can actually make good passes at the Shootout.





Spent most of my time at the fest working on this.

 

holy mother of GOD. wth?! wow!!!!

 

What he said x2 !

In for vid also !

 

Rad lines done, Fluids in, Just a few electrical things to finish and then it shall run...

 

So was all ready to start the IROC FINALLY and... nothing. Would crank all day but nothing. After lots of troubleshooting found it had no fuel pulse or spark. Pulled the wiring harness I have back out of the car and the Crank sensor wiring has been sliced like 8 times so hopefully thats all it is. Will try again today. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

 

Good luck I hope it's something that simple because you've already invested plenty time and money. That thing is gonna be a beast

 

nice build

 

Now I know why it looked familiar! Lol

Badass all the way man

 

Its alive!!!!!
