I would also lower it since the front suspension is out . Also the rears springs take
20 mins to swap out You will need new struts for the front because the nut on the
top of the strut assembly is rusted on (typical Fbody problem) and the original struts
dont like to have dropped springs on them .

 

Does that say V6 on the bumper? Good luck going through emissions. That is one loose suspension on that thing. Upgrading to 17in wheels is a MUST.

 

Also I would paint your Intake manifold a color of your choice . Red aka LT4 style
although common still looks very nice ! Black with the fins polished up also looks
killer ! What is the specs on your Head/Cam combo your gonna go with ? What
pushrods , lifters , Rockers , springs you goin with also ?

 

why doesnt anybody pull them from the top just wondering? i havent pulled one from a 4th gen yet but will ben pulling mine next month

 

Intake manifold, CHECK!

and its Ported too

Thanks to Anhisher Bush this project is going well, Minus that clutch slave cylinder, whooops....

 

Okay now I need to know how to tell if the camshaft that is in the motor is aftermarket or stock, can we get some pics, and suggestions?!!?

 

How many miles on this motor? While it was out, I'd have the heads freshened up at a decent shop (if not a head/cam/intake job from like Advanced...) Confirm the valve spring pressure, get a good cam and a set of Cometic head gaskets. Good timing chain....

 

Here is the factory cam from my 93. Billet steel?

 

It says FORMULA V8, just like every other formula, and what do you mean by loose suspension? Of course it looks loose, its not supported by anything at the top when the k-member is sitting on the ground...

 

Intake looks very good! Looks familiar too

 

actually only 93 and 94 cars say "formula V8"...95-97 Formulas just say "Formula" and 98-02 they did away with the bumper/DS headlight decals completely.

 

Really? I knew they did away with the bumper and headlight stickers on the LS1 body, but I could have sworn my buddies old 96 formula said "FORMULA V8" on it. It has been about 4 years since I last saw that car though.

 

I can`t remember what kind of markings are on a stock cam, been a long time since I`ve seen one. However, aftermarket cams will have #`s inscribed on the snout. Take a clear picture of the snout of the cam so we can verify what you have. Chances are if you don`t know, since you drove the car, you don`t have an aftermarket larger cam.

Don`t pay attention to 1 Craz28...He has the dumdum disease

 

I just sold a 97 Formula and it only said formula on the rear bumper same with the 96s!

 

my 95 just says "formula" as well
