test fitting motor, turbo kit, turbo and more

threw in a bunch today, test fitted nearly everything, measuring how much needs to get cut out of the oil pan, and more. some nice pics of how the hotside fits in the car also.

adjusting the coil overs, plasma the fenders

my girlfriend said there was entirely too much metal in the fender well, so she sliced it out, then i painted the engine bay up also, a shot of my hodge podge bottom end.
ride height... steering rack fix and checking my cam with a degree wheel

fairmont 3 and 4 switcherooo

Due to rediculous import fees, i will not be selling the 3.0 car to my mexican friend, he has estimates over 3300 dollars so far in import fees and taxes etc, Honestly i just feel bad sticking him with that kinda bill, and i like the car, so i will keep it for now, what i am going to do now is, pull the weak point out of it wich is the gen3 4.8 and smaller turbo, and install the 5.3 i have and the better turbo and hotside and go nuts.

the black car is getting the 4.8 and a ls1 cam i have laying around and we will see how that does with the 60e, stock driveshaft and 7.5 rear end.

so that is the new experiment, saturday corey and i pulled the 4.8, removed the cam, and installed the ls1 cam, and installed it all back into the black car, going to be studding, and installing the isky cam, and then pac1218 valvesprings into the yellow car with the 2005 5.3l motor and the reiners hotside and s476 billet turbo.

should be nuts! this is the best choice i think because this yellow car has the fuel system, rear, trans, and converter to go nuts already.
