700 pages!!!!

 

For those who aren't following Rob's build thread we made some good progress last week and should be cleaning up all the shitty welds from the 110 mig welder I was using before my new one came in. Hoping to get the engine bay ready for paint this week.
















Enjoy

 

Wow! I haven't been on here a while. Lots of laughs. Car looks good so far Nate/Rob!

 

Nice work Nate!

 

Looks like you guys are making some decent progress Nate! When do you think it will be ready to hit the rollers (dyno)?

 

It's hard to say really... There is a ton left to do yet
Sand and smooth engine bay
Wire tuck mod
Paint engine bay
assemble new motor
install new suspension
install fuel system
install meth system
install new gauges / wide band
build cold side charge pipes
cut and smooth out his good bumper cover
install his HID headlights and re-install/mount fog lights

thats just a start of whats left just off the top of my head... Plus he doesn't even have half his stuff yet and His DART heads are MIA so who knows when those will be done.

 

I am hoping for mid June or there about. Right now we are in the middle of alot of grinding and sanding getting the engine bay looking good plus then what Nate said is let to do lol lots of hours left!!!

 

well you better go buy a ******* car then becaus jeff went 9.80 @ 138 in his procharged ta last fall at muncie... and yes thats the one everybody dogged last yr when he raced that fd on the highway(tranny problems). now its a stalled th400 and hauls the ******* mail. Now get your *** out of the dog park and buy another car already! Btw good to see you posting again

 

Who is jeff and what is this car? Its here in Ft. Wayne? Joe...you know of this one? If so..COOL!

 

Its a pewter TA like mine that EPP put a Procharger on back in the day when they were open. His buddy has a GTO if my memory servers me correctly. Its been out to Bodigans before. Its a nice car also from what I remember too!

 

Jeff has the pewter trans am that was originally a lpe gt-11 cam car with 4.10 gears. He's from the south side of ft. wayne and raced ken's old vortec charged c5 back in the day. Actually epp rebuild the stock shortblock with forged pistons/rods, stock crank... car has as cast dart heads, fast 90 intake, nw 90 tb. Originally a 6spd, but he had alot of problems with it. So he had mcbride rebuild a th-400 for him and its working well... Jeff installed the charger himself and took it back to epp for the tune. Its a d1sc with upgraded frt mount ic. Around 14psi boost and made close to 700whp...that was with the factory ic's. the car has more left in it... its all stock suspension except for the moser 9" and tq arm. He is a nice guy and cruises around alot with chris(I think thats his name), the guy who has the 383 in the blue nova.

 

Jeff is a cool dude.

 

Yah Scott, I know him. Jeff Runion is his name. Nice guy and has a real fast car. It's a high boosted, big stall automatic, 28" tall tire T/A that runs very respectable numbers. I have talked to him a few times and have offered him some advise. I would like to see him and Kurt do a roll race on the street sometime. They a similar powered cars running same blowers, but Kurts digs alot harder on the street then it does at the track, so I think it would be a fun match up with.

 

Collector fabrication done, dropped them and the headers off at with Chris to finish them up:

 

It's to bad you only think you're a builder, and that we nig rig our junk *** old hybrid conversions

 

Pffdt, that's all off the shelf stuff, what are you taking about.

 

I remember that dude from way back, pretty sure he went to Wayne.

 

Anybody looking for an A1000? I'm stepping up to a bigger setup and am selling mine.

 

That fuel pump supports up to 1000fwhp Blake. What's the issue, or what are you doing to warrant the change for a new fuel pump? If you are, I would suggest Fuelab products.
