I've just had goodluck outta on3 stuff. And I like the .96 housing on the 4.8's and 5.3's seems to spool real nice. But I haven't bought one just yet. So I still could change my mind. I would like to have a nice s475 for the mont even more than the on3 though. Lol

Dang streetknight! I can't believe you couldn't get that hood to close. It must have been something different about your kmember I've done two fairmont's with aje kmembers and fit truck intakes on both.

Well the old fairmont will live again I thought this thread was gonna be dead for awhile but I'm at a standstill on my nova till I get all the wiring done so I'm gonna put the 6.0 and s480 back n the four door. But this time it'll have a nice newly rebuilt 370 inch ls and holley hp efi . Also will have a new glide with a trans Brake and a new ptc converter. And will be using my triple 12 cam I just got in from stock48
. Pics soon to come![Popcorn](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)

I'm not sure if I'm gonna redo my hot side yet but I'm thinking about it. Matt ( denmah) has gave me a few ideas I'd like to try with my fairmont even though I already have one ready to go.

I'm planning on taking a season off but we"ll see I don't have much to do work wise just a little wiring and maybe changing my turbo kit up. We'll just have to see how it goes. So I guess stay tuned!! Lol!

Now I'm trying decide if I want to cut this up and redo it . I kinda didn't like where the turbo sat before it was always hard to install and the air inlet was right next to the fender but it worked.Lol!!

I found this old pic of my fairmont when I first got it. I was only going to use this car for parts for my two door but we got this car to crank and run so I drove it back and forth to work for awhile . This car has been a easy car to build and everything always goes together easy . But this is what I started with.

Got a little work done. All I lack finishing the junky turbo kit up us making a bracket off the frame to hold the weight if that s480. Should be done soon . This car always comes together easily. I think I'm gonna buy another micro squirt to get it Rollin soon shouldn't have sold the one matt built. If anybody has one they want to sell let me know.
