8.8 rear installed and some other fun

boxed the control arms, new welder is awesome, 8.8 installed with help from Corey O'Brien and test fitted a wheel, getting some used 255/60/15s mounted this week to drop it on the ground, i have to replace all the brake lines, none of the bitches survived lol, better get a newer disk brake master cylinder while im at it. pretty exciting!

4.8 turbo swapped 240 done

tuning this weekend for sure!

steves 5.3 turbo GN

Matts 79 corvette with 01 4.8 and 60e, trickflow cam

finally got this worthy to come up to the dyno for a tune and messing around, 242 hp to the tire, stock 01 4.8 and 60e out of a truck, trickflow cam, pac1218 springs, stock truck intake, manifolds etc etc, great power on 87 octane going to be a hell of a driver, does 65~mph at 2000 rpm in overdrive. cant wait till he gets more of the dash tgether and the car painted

fired off the 240 today!

butchered some fuel line stuff together today for the regulator and rails and threw the starter in the car, and fired it with an unknown base tune in there, haha still fired!

dougs nova on the rollers

swapped out the dyno brakes today

replaced the brakes on the dyno today after 11 years or so, quite a bit of wear when you compare to the new pads! working great and ready for the dyno day this saturday!

Matts 79 corvette ls swap!

get it working then clean it up!?

this is the wiring i threw together quick for my neighbors corvette, 79 vette with a silverado 4.8 and 60e swapped into it, i like to use wire nuts to make sure everything is working before you permanently wire it, then after it was all working he cleaned it up nice and neat on the right side, looks stock!

240 update video

jaimie and i tear down and gap, then re assemble her motor

swapped 76/64 to 78/75 today

swapped the turbo out today to see if there was a big power difference, and there was almost no power difference at all really.

it made nearly the same power as the other turbo, leads me to believe something else might be up with the setup, interesting result indeed.

Gear swap for the supra

Ryan and I swapped out the rear gears I his supra from 4.27 to 3.91 I think sc300 diff

blazer dash in the yellow car!

since i paid about 100 dollars for the camaro SS dash *cluster and wiring* i thought what the hell i will pull a 20 dollar GMC jimmy dash out and see if it can work the same.

so i tested it first, then wired it in.

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.

fairmont 4 fbody dash

trying something different in this car, going to see how a fbody dash works out in this car with the stock pcm

fairmont 4 running!

268,000+ mile motor runs great, i guess we can move on with the plans here.
