Default 94 Z28 Project Complete

I'm celebrating tonight (before the Sonic cruise). My 1994 Z28 LS1 project is now complete.

The last major item was an 8-point roll bar and 5-point harnesess.

The car
- is a 1994 black Z28 with a cowl induction hood
- 1998 LS1 (from my wrecked Formula)
- Thunder 224 / .563 / 112 cam
- Ed Wright tuning
- Yank built tranny and Prothruster 4000
- Hooker headers running through a 4" Magnaflow race muffler (sounds great)
- Interior is a mix of 1994 Z28 seats, 1999 Camaro dash, and 1998 Formula panels (kinda Frankenstein, but very clean)
- Ford 9" with 4.11 gears
- Spohn torque arm
- BMR suspension (LCA, PHR, Extreme Sway)

Street trim is a set of SS wheels and Firestone tires. Race trim is a set of 26 x 10 x 15 ET Drags.

Need to clearance the calipers a little more. If all goes well, next week the car is taken to the track for some trial runs.

Tonight we celebrate. Long road since my 16-year-old daugher's wreck (she'll get back in the driver seat at the track). Lots of work to get this car where it is today.

Tip a glass for/with me.

Pat
