What model years comes with the TR6060? I thought it could come from a 2010 Camaro SS. I am still decided what I want to do. There is a local yard with an LS2 + T56 from a GTO available that I may try for when I'm ready.
Car is finally a roller! Honestly, I am very happy with the amount of progress I was able to achieve in just 5 short months.
Thursday I installed the front brakes and the rear springs. A friend of mine loaned me a set of wheels to get the car rolling.
I purchased a 13" Baer 4 Track kit. It came with the rotors, complete calipers with pads, stainless steel lines and all the necessary hardware. Total cost of the brake kit was around $1300. Not too bad for a 4 piston setup.
I would have been perfectly fine with some vented blank rotors, hopefully they won't fail too quick. Apparently drilled rotors are known to crack after hard abuse.
The rear was finished off with Eibach progressive springs from a 2004 cobra. The IRS in the car is around 80lbs heavier than the traditional solid rear so a heavier spring was needed. I forget the actual specs but i believe the range was from 510-700lbs compressed. Brake lines were ran in the rear, as we utilized the 11" disc brakes from the factory IRS setup. Hawk HPS pads were added.
Here it is as it sits: glass was put in the front and rear, however I still need to figure out something for the quarter windows. The glass is fine, however the window molding is old and cracking. I've read a few tutorials on how to finish them to look new, so I will probably go that route.
That's all for now. This car is heading into storage for a while so I can free up shop space and save for a engine and transmission.
Haven't really thought about it. Most likely use the stock tank with a 255 - 340lph pump with new line. It will probably be a single line system, thus being returnless. Unless someone can tell me otherwise
You can use a corvette filter which is set at 58 psi and uses a return right back to the gas tank. They make an fittings to make it all work. Very common way to do

I'm not sure that my application and power goals warrant a return setup. I am shooting for 5-550 wheel which should still be suitable for a single line setup.
I bought that setup, makes it easy. The pump alone is about 100-120 range so thats a bargain considering it comes with a new pickup with an fittings. Then you use the corvette filter which is a return and is set internally at 58psi, slide on the an fittings and 1 line to the fuel rail.

easy!
Still collecting parts, which has been fun yet I feel unproductive.
Friday I drove to Jackson MO to pick up a motor. I ended up finding a 2011 6.0 LY6 with factory ls3/l92 heads on it. The motor only has 20k miles on it.
The better flowing square port heads were a big plus for me.....why do you ask? Because I also bought this....
An LSA blower with a ZL1 lid. My buddy and I are both doing very similar swaps. His is going into a 70's C10. Already replaced the spring isolator and now there is zero play on the stock pulley. Grabbed this low mileage blower for 650.
Also bought an 03-04 cobra steering rack and a Maximum Motor sports hybrid steering shaft.
Hey Chris just read through your build after you stopped by mine! I'm definitely subscribed. What shop is this at, I might wanna stop in and check out updates sometime. And hey LilJayV10, what shop are you in Evansville? I live right off of Oak Grove Rd in Newburgh.
