Dyno today????

 

Haha not quite, lots to do lol

 

After what feels like an eternity my crank scraper finally showed up.

 

Got back on this thing some today. Drilled out this passage on the back for the sensor to 1/2 to make sure I got plenty of flow to control oil pressure. Tigged on my bung for the an line on my valley plate, started test fitting the crank scraper. Little
bits here and there lol

 

Cam degreed and installed, oil pan fitting tigged on for the pressure return, oil pump installed, spent probably 2 hours trimming on the crank scraper to get it to fit, nice part about this aftermarket pan Is I can use a full length windage tray. So that’s installed too.

 

Short block is completely done, decided to ditch the btr springs and ordered a set of the pac 1208’sZ

 

Picked up a brand new g8 slp 25% underdrive pulley and water pump today for $150, so
looks like I’m running g8/vette stuff up front.

 

Ordered a ict billet low mount alternator bracket today and the 1208x springs. Had a hell
of a time finding them. Everyone was back ordered.

 

BraCkets and udp showed up

 

PAC springs showed up, thanks Tick performance. Everywhere else was sold out

 

I couldn't help but noticing that front spoiler under the bumper on the nova ..........where did you guys find that, or did you make it? I need one!....I have a first gen camaro rear spoiler fitted onto my trunk and this would complete the package

Nice man! Up22/unlimited fiberglass is where this came from!

 

Picked up an 8.8 from a town car, some 4:30 gears, 31 spline track lock and a set of 9” axles today. I’m going to swap the car from a 9” to an 8.8, don’t want a spool and this stuff fell on my lap cheap

 

 

Your going to pick the 8.8 over a spooled 9?

 

Ive got multiple cars with each, I wish I would have went 8.8 in all of them lol

 

9” axles and housing ends showed up! Picked up a 31 spline 8.8 diff and town car housing Sunday. Waiting on the 4:30’s and axle bearings

 

It's obvious he's going all out for every 0.05 tenth of a second. lol

t350 trans
8.8 rear

In a 346 i can see how lighter everything could benefit some. The car weighs nothing also at 2700

I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes

 

Yup, the 8.8 consumes less power and I believe aweighs less also. Plus I’m tired of spools. Posi for a 9” is $$$$$$$$$. With the 9” axles and ends in this I’ll hve a very nice setup.

 

Agree! I've been following along and will be awaiting results.

I wish had more time to work on my build but for now its work and gathering the pieces..
