Looking good, but you'll want more than a 6 rib belt on that blower. The stock tensioner should be swapped for a stronger piece too

 

Yeah this is all first run stuff to see if things will work.

Haven't seen you around much lately pocket. Then again I haven't been on TGO in a while either.

 

hoping to fire it up this sunday. gotta do a couple more wires, drop the tank and install the fuel pump, vette regulator, and tune out vats and hopefully itll fire up(crossing fingers). i did crank the motor (without the computer stuff hooked up and it seems to crank fine and the belt routing looks to be in line.

 

well i got it fired up today. unfortunately i have to pull it apart again cause 2 of the injectors are leaking. but i did what i planned on doin this weekend. gotta clean up interior wiring and figure out a couple other things, re-do the injector o-rings and should be good.

besides the leak its actually pretty quiet open header.

sorry didnt rev it at all the puddle of gas right next to the open headers was a lttle bit scary.

 

so already pulled the rails off and yup there was a chunk out of those 2 O-rings. oh yeah got my new power steering pulley since the one on the car is about to pop

 

Kick *** on the progress man ! How much longer until its on the road ?

 

Probably a couple more Weeks. Body shop is taking forever to paint my rim centers. Gotta get my driveshaft made, figure out shifter linkage, and need money for gauges and stuff

 

today i swapped brake lines off my 7.5 and put them on my 8.8, installed my lower control arms, installed GT sway bar, re-installed the diff into the car and looked at the car a bit and think about what else i need to do and how much its goin to cost. lol

dont worry about the shocks and springs i will be changing them. i just wanna try to get it in a roller so after i get my driveshaft done i can try takin it up the street real quick. lol












oh yeah and made a little vid for you guys......

 

had a thought a while back to mess with more people so i decided to have someone photoshop it up for me. i think it actually looks pretty good. lol

 

coming along awesome. Keep up the good work

 

Nice project, don't think that blower will fit under the hood though! haha

 

eh itll fit. um yeah...... lol

 

 

lil bit of a difference from the stock 4 cyl brakes eh? this was one of yesterdays projects.

 

picked up my driveshaft from the shop today.

 

good progress cant wait to see it running down the road!

 

yeah me too. its getting there. got a bunch done today.

got my air filter but need to get another boot to extend it off the throttle body, installed the driveshaft, steering shaft, shifter linkage (sorta), and hopefully finally bolted up the drivers header for a while, and bolted up my x pipe..

 

buddy gave me some free tires and sold me some wheels. just goin to use them pretty much as rollers until get my wheels put together or find soemthing i like. still thinking about doing the c5 z06 wheels just to mess with more people, plus i think it actually looks pretty good on it.

theyre a lil small but like i said theyre just rollers.

 

in theme with the rest I kinda like the c5s on it. I'd get rid of the corvette emblems on them though.

I really like those two piece wheels too... I can think of a future project car I'd like to put them on myself...

 

yeah id probably rock the flat center caps. my 3 piece wheels i believe are finally done getting painted, i havent even seen how they came out yet.


my buddy has 2 c5z wheels that i wanna get from him to see how the fitment will be. i know the foxbodies have a issue running wider tires up front.
