I can tell you that the stock F-Body shifter location and a Bench Seat don't agree (i've been there and done that).. One of the reasons I went with a Viper configured T56.. it has a more forward location on the shifter.. other options are to use the McLeod relocation kit to move the shifter to the mid location.

 

My car already had buckets. I moved my seat back 3" because I'm tall and the shifter is right in front of the seat. I think a cheaper rout would be to move the bench seat back far enough. If your tall enough. I will try and take pics tomarrow.

 

It finally stoped raining so I go some beter pics.

 

you can se that the shifter is right in front of the seat suds that are stiking up. I put the motor as far forward I could when I welded the motor mounts. That could make a big differance. I think wee my shifter is at you could fit a stock bench seat.

 

[QUOTE=430 hp 70;9312165]which pump did hector put in that tank for you? thats a pretty good price if its anything over their base pump.

what size tires?



They are 275/40 r18 out back and 235/40r18 p front.
As for the fuel pump it is stock. My motor is all stock so I did not see any reason to upgrade.

If this car drives as nnice as it looks, I will sell my 90 twin turbo 300zx and make the chevelle twin turbo. I have always had tubo cars befor. we will just have to see how naturally aspirated feels when it is done.

 

I finally got it started tonight. It only took 4 hours of checking the wires to the crank angle sensor. One of the wires was pintched. I knew it was something simple.

It sounds bad ***. And runs pefect. Now I just have to get the brakes and a few other little things done. Might even be driving it on monday. That is the plan any way.k

 

Great going.. It is always the smiple, overlooked thing or the .59 cent part. LOL..
Keep the posts coming.. !

 

How did you fair during the storm? I saw Neosho took a shot. My wife's family still lives (lived) in Picher, OK. Spent the last few days up there. Not a pretty sight.

 

It hit about a mile north of here. We had alot of friends loose there house's. If you are ever in the area agian you should let me know. you can stop by and see the car. I should be able to drive it on sunday if everything works out right.

 

We usually only come up for holidays and weddings and what not, its quite a haul from Houston. Her father still lives in the area, but her mom (house is gone) will be relocating now. Not sure when we will be up that way again.

 

here are some of the pics

 

Now that it is done I have to sell it. Here is a link to ebay. I would also sell it locally. The reserve is set at $30100. I have way more than that in it, but I am buying anouther house so it must go. Use the link or go to item # 270274758133

man you got FU**ED!!! that sucks... congrats on buyin ANOTHER house though!

car looks really good, I just cant believe it was sold as being a DONE car with all the issues it had...

 

Its not a bad thing. This let me biuld the car just how I want it. Plus I don't really like cars when they are all done. I get bord fast. I enjoy building them more. This one only took me seven months, so I can't wait to see what i build next year.

 

you are my hero

 

I will be in touch. I plan on building a 71 Chevelle SS with an LS1 or LQ4, starting sometime this fall when the weather gets cold. Beautiful car and excellent job.

 

Remeber It is alot easyer to ask the to buy and find out the expesive way

 

What type of headers did you use?
