[xx_ED_xx]

I honestly dont remember it had 2 precision turbos, the manifolds BOV etc. I think they were rated at 600 hp a peice

[71 chevy]

precision is out of my price range. whats the story on that viper vid? it looks bada$$. what power adder, if any, were you using?

[xx_ED_xx]

That was one I put a super charger on, exhaust, brake upgrade, updated rotating assembly, engine management system, water methanol injection, and some other stuff. made 734 at the wheels

Ed,

nice projects!

I can definately appreciate something different.
see my sig.

Working with what ya got, on a budget that's what hot rodding is all about.

Now, is that an aircraft runway you filmed those vids at? I would kill to have one pass down that thing. Pure freedom.

Oh and those Corvette Speedline Magnesium wheels, what'd you do with them?

Keep wrenchin'

I sold them on ebay, now i am using the c6 wheels. 19 x 10 on the front and 20 10.5 on the rear my c6 zo6 calipers should be here soon 6 piston and 14 inch rotors

Wow taking two harnesses and making one is a time consuming process

That's a great project you have. You apparently got some serious Dealage on those parts you listed. More power to you.

Thanks, I am still playing with the wiring harness. about 90 percent complete with that down to the last connector wiring then deleting the emissions stuff.

[azboostin]

was that a v6 or v8 car from the start? did you make your mounts or were you able to use some exisiting/stock style mounts, I have been thinking about doing a sbc/bbc swap for a while

[xx_ED_xx]

It was a trans am from the get go. Stock modified mounts sbc would be easier but I <3 big blocks

Very cool project man, cant wait to see some more progress.

[xx_ED_xx]

Yeah I finally got a ship date for the military. July 1st. So I am thinking as soon as my parts for my other project get here. And since money is tight at the moment I may put something together to just get it running.

[xx_ED_xx]

Well sold some stuff and bought some stuff. Got my 14 inch front rotors coming and some other misc parts I needed for both projects. Found me a better canidate for the intake. I will post pictures When i receive everything

[xx_ED_xx]

Well A little update. I was debating selling the car 6 speed etc. Since I am not sure if I will have the cash before i leave for the army to get it running. I was lacking a few parts for my 454. But now I may be able to swing it. So I am going to update first post.

So now I plan on using a vortec 8100 (since I already have 2 complete motors) and modify the intake to fit under the hood. I was wanting to use the LS1 pcm etc but after looking into tuning software etc I could buy 2 megasquirt efi setups for the price of decent tuning software. So i sold the ls1 pcm wiring etc. I also purchased 2 of them ls1 msd ignition set ups. Since my truck and my car will pretty much have the same motor in them and the same efi and igniton setup

[xx_ED_xx]

Well i rolled it outside so i can try and finish this v8 jeep project i got. Now this is with a cast iron big block in it and it actually sits alittle high in the front

[xx_ED_xx]

Brakes

[xx_ED_xx]

And on a side note the other 8.1 I got making progress on that as well

[Beaflag VonRathburg]

I'm guessing it should stop pretty well. Messing with harnesses sucks. Did you see the giant pile of wires I have sitting in my garage?
