I think your car is awesome!! I'm in the process of doing the same build. I don't think I will run 8's but, I will be happy with 9's. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

I am in the process of building a reverse cooling system for the motor right at this time!!!! I am using a Jegs sbc pump and modifying it to work . I also built plates to cover the water pump holes so I could at an fittings to the front of the block!!!! I think it will be pretty neat when it is done!!!! What headers are you going to use? After I get done with the cooling system, I have to start on the headers>

^^^ i hate you both

Orangepeeler 02-17-2008 10:04 PM

I used the Hawks Third Gen headers. They are 1.75" tubes and I opted for the 3" collector. I think for a 346 with just a plate that should be big enough. We'll see soon. By the way, where did you get that motor plate and mid plate?

ch3089 02-17-2008 10:34 PM

S&W out of Pennsylvania. And the mid plate came from ed quay. For these mounts I am also using ed quays steering shaft!!!

i plan on swapping in a 383 into my 92 rs, but ive been looking latley and just might throw in a lsx and a t56 been reading alot about it and know how to do it all, i just cant find a nice motor and tranny lol

ch3089 02-17-2008 10:45 PM

I have a 5.3L truck motor for 400.00$ Comes as a long block with low miles! As far as a trans, we have 4l60e ,but no sticks!!!

love the car
 
That thing is going to catch an unexpecting new mustang and the look on thier when they see your tail lights will be priceless.

I am in the process of putting a 6.0 lq9 into a 64 chevyII with a Carb. I bought the victor Jr intake and Msd 6010 setup, I just ordered a blow proof ultra bell for the th 350 since mine was cracked and the trans was still good.

my car weights 2150 or so with out driver( it was 2300 with big block with Iron heads) and Looking for low 10's on motor with an f14 cam with stock heads. I am going to get custom headers since I cant find a set already built so to get it started for now I will be putting on a set of Manifolds off the CTS-V caddy. They are a shorty header design so I should be ok untill I get headers built. If I run low 10's with them, they may stay:D

Good luck with your build, I hope it runs what you expect.

Orangepeeler 02-19-2008 06:52 PM

What do you have for rear suspension? Are you using a torque arm or something different?

Spike-Z 02-19-2008 08:27 PM

Great build! I would suggest upgrading the air filter. ;)

ch3089 02-19-2008 09:46 PM

It is a ladder bar coilover car with 10.5 tires. That air filter Is awesome when it is hot out!!! Especially for my bald head!!!

Orangepeeler 02-26-2008 08:18 PM

Any updates? How's the swap coming along? More pics?

ch3089 02-27-2008 09:07 PM

I have finally put the engine in for the last time. Put all the bolts in the bellhousing, which are extremely close to the floor/tunnel, painted everything all up and still working on the cooling system. With the 1/4 front plate it causes all kinds of problems as far as the belt lining up on the WP. I had a sbc meziere pump that I modified and installed 8an fittings to go to the top holes on the motor and 10an fittings to go to the bottom holes. The hoses are not very long as I have mounted the pump under the radiator. I made adapter plates out of 1/4 aluminum plate to go in place of the water pump. This will also be a reverse cooling system. I am anxious to get this part done and start working on the headers. I will post pictures soon.!!!
