Project "Because Streetcar"
Project "Because Streetcar" Hey guys...
My last build was a 454 LSX Street car, worked on it for 3.5years.
"Finished" it a couple months ago, and was almost immediately bored... :/
So... Im parting it out. 454 Shortblock is already sold, as well as the headers. Just have to pull it out today. Sad day.
I wanted this next build to be an extraneous amounts of fab work... ie: front half/backhalf, 4 link, etc.. It will end up similiar
to a 10.5 outlaw build, but without a 25.3 cage and with the ability to roadtrip. End goal for the car is a nice cruiser with
more power than I can ever need/use, so I won't get bored.. I'd like to try mile racing, and I sure wouldn't cry if I could
get an 8sec slip.
Powertrain:
Right now, Im think a 427 with a 98mm turbo, would be good for ~1500WHP
Drivetrain:
Undecided, I like driving a manual (Level VII T-56 Magnum) or I was considering a RMVB TH400... of course coupled to a FAB9
Chassis:
I decided with how cut up this next car would get, that it would be stupid to use my current Trans Am... I thought a lot about
switching to an FD RX7 or mustang, just to try something different, but I like the LS T/A... So, Im going to put a stock LS1 in
my Hardtop T/A and sell it.. and then today, I bought a convertible Trans Am. It used to be Ronnie Dukes, built by W2W/Hardcore
UPDATE: 9/9/2012: Bought new chassis **PAGE 5**

A 4L80E is an option, Ive never had an automatic, and Id really only be interested in switching if someone could testify (lol) that the increased speed, would be worth having a grandma transmission...

A 370 with an 88 mm can do mid to high 8's.
A 404 w/ a 91mm and T56 has done 202 in the mile on here. Killer-LS1
106mm and street doesn't really add up except for bragging rights and you'll need some room to catch a smaller turbo setup.
For street only, a 370 with an 80mm or 347 w/7675 is more than you can use.
Post what you really want it to do or you'll get responses all over the place.

It will most defiantly be faster with the auto. Go look at the top drag week guys. They are all running 400s, glides, or a big $$$$ tranny like a lenco, liberty, or gforce.
bring it to auto europe tomorrow night?
