Default Busy with the Trans Am

Been busy with my car.

First things first, I was never happy with the way the valve springs were setup on my heads from a well known name. You can clearly see a lot of spring movement. The spring seats that were used were destroyed and it finally made sense why I kept seeing glitter in my oil. I swapped out those springs for the lunati set which used a correct spring locator.

I also bought a rebuilt 10 bolt with 4.11s. The old rear end pictured was the original with 3.23s. The 4.11 are a much better combo with my t56 swap. The 3.23s made the car feel like a dog.

I have always used rubber bands on the valves, but those zip ties on the valves are a great idea.

Rear handling and braking setup looks nice as well.
