I did a few things today after work. I got the trans out again, gunna take it and see what exactly i need to order to fix it right and make it "bulletproof"


The Thunderduck (1988 Thunderbird $600 beater) doin its duty.


Finally got my E-Brake hooked up to the 03 Cobra brakes, I was missing that cross piece that connects the cables together.


Mounted my 2-step and Im waiting on my Nitrous retard to come back from MSD so I can wire it all up.

your stock pan will work with the AJE K-member

Joe Lluvia Avila

ok awsome bro...i kept reading on different forums that the stock pan would not work...but after seeing your build i second guessed the whole thing... this is my build so far... slowly but surely...aint nothing extreme but it will get me around and good enough to have fun with til i get my 5.3 extreme build.

What is this "gas mileage" you speak of?


I did some wiring today.

So apparently there was 1 year when GM decided to change the TH350 and I so happen to have that year. Here is the difference.

This is how it should be...


This is mine.

I got the trans back this time it is completely built with JW internals. I am going to try to finish the wiring this weekend and if I have any time left I will install the trans. Ill post updated pics after this weekend.

I think I got a lot accomplished today. Tomorrow is 2 more harnesses for the relay panel and then wire up the timing retard and 2 step. re mount the NOS fuel pump, and maybe get the trans stabbed, (prolly not)

I drilled out the key cylinder of the junkyard tilt steering column and put amd key cylinder in it, and rebuilt the blinker switch. It works great now and I have tilt!!


Made the Nitrous solenoid, purge solenoid and micro switch harness


This is the switches harness


I forgot to post a pic of the headliner back when I put it in.

I got the wiring mostly done. I had a little hiccup with the trans brake wiring. The way I had it before, the button was wired on the ground side of the relay and i forgot about that. The way I rewired the system the button is on the power side of the relay. So needless to say the trans brake relay didnt have any power. I ran a jumper wire to the button and everything work as it should. I just gotta run power to the TB button and everything will be good. I said **** it and came inside. Ill do it tomorrow after work. I also broke my purge button, so i have a corded button hanging out of my dash for now until i get a new button.

I got the TH350 back in, again. I didnt take any pics because you all have seen that before. I also got some Hotchkis rear control arms, those will go on Friday along with battle box supports.

v8sten

iTrader: (5)

Its all together now, for the most part. Im gunna drive it to work tomorrow, or later today, to test it out.

I got the control arms on and holy **** did it make a difference!! It rides rough as **** but there is no body roll. I also installed a pinion snubber and that seems to help plant the tires. The battle box supports deal fell through so ill have to put those on at a later date. I forgot to take pics when it was in the air.
