I'm very curious as well since the OP and myself have a very similar build

Not yet, did not think of everything I was going to need for the car.

While tuning it we couldn't get the fuel we needed so I am waiting to install my new racetronix fuel pump.

Also at 7300 RPM the alternator was being overspun and couldnt charge the battery. Actually dipped below 12.6 at that rpm

So I have to do those, with some new battery cables and should be dyno'd this spring. Taking a little longer then expected to get it all together

So after a long saturday we put in the new racetronix fuel pump with hotwire kit and extra ground strap.
Wasn't a terrible install once we got everything out of the way but it was still something I don't want to do again anytime soon.


While going together I put in this little beauty I picked up the week before, a slightly used moser 12 bolt with 3.9x gears with a truetrac with welded LCA relocation brackets. This rear woke the car right up and did exactly what I needed it to.


After that we finished everything up by installing the higher output truck alternator.

Finally ready for the final tune, some dyno numbers and some track time

What all did you have to modify to make this block work in your car? What about the Knock sensors ? This is pretty much the same setup I was thinking about doing in my 99 FRC.

Only thing I had to do was drill and tap the block for the alternator mount. Nothing to be done for the knock sensors, just a matter of swapping

Otherwise everything else was a matter of swapping over as well
