LSX in 87' Fox
Few questions for ya if you don't mind. How much was the water pump total with what ever little stupid parts you have to buy to make it work? What crank pulley are you running? Who did your exhaust and what headers are you running also did you cut the collector down on the drivers side to clear the trans x member?

No problem man..Water pump was $418 to my door from thunder racing..All you have to buy is the lower radiator hose fitting..Its a ASP pulley, the headers are the 1 7/8" Kooks, the exhaust was welded together by a buddy at a local muffler shop, but is actually a universal 3" x-pipe kit from summit racing, and no modifying the header for me, I made my own trans crossmember...

Very nice thank you for the fast reply. So the pump doesn't come with the lower rad hose fitting? How much if not? My car has the AJE K member with Dynatech headers and AJE trans x member (350th PG) and the collector is about 6" away from it front to back and the frame part crosses about a 1/3 of the collector. We got 3" exhaust on the car but it is far beyond ghetto. Is that crank pulley f-body or vette?
What was the old combo that ran the 9.40's and MPH you spoke of on page 10 I just noticed all these new post in this thread. I've been following it since you started and must say very impressive piece you have. Whats the weight on the car again?

No problem man..Nope the race pump does not come with the lower fitting. I think it was like $15 for the fitting. Its a fbody ASP under drive pulley.
The 9.40's was what the new motor I just put in ran in my buddy's car. Thanks man, the car has came along way since when I first bought it with the lil ol' 306 and 5 speed. The last time I had it scaled it was 2980 with me in it but its lost some weight since then, although with the new forged internals its probably in the same area. But will find out when I take it back to be scaled again.

Thanks, it will be a little while before I will see the full potential of the car, need a couple more things..Some travel limiters to hopefully keep it off the bumper and a n2o controller..
Ah OTB is fun!!!! So you don't want to do any of this???
