My lawsuit(s) should be settling within the next year and a half and I already have a pretty good plan on what I want to do with the 'Bird. I don't want to spend more than 10K on it, and that must include engine/trans/rear/chassis.
REAR
I was planning on upgrading to 31 spline axles w/31 spline traction-lok and c-clip eliminators. I will be using the 3.55's I bought not too long ago.
TRANS
Planned for TCI rebuild kit, Lentech strip terminator valve body, 2600-3200 stall lock up convertor, and deep pan
ENGINE
I already have GT-40P heads which I will port and send out to be milled. I have a TFS stage 1 cam and an adjustable FPR and 190lph walboro pump. I would like to go with a GT-40 intake, Mac full-length headers. MAF conversion w/cold air intake, 70mm TB and 24lb/hr injectors.
CHASSIS
I already have Comp. Eng. 3 way adjustable drag shocks and I will be looking to install aftermarket control arms as well as weld up the torque boxes. I would also like to get a nice set of sub-frame connectors.
Keep in mind this car is driven day in and day out, long trips, short trips. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, this baby sees it all. I'm open to suggestions and I'm sure I left a few things out as usual.
Thanks,
Don
Snow tires.
If your throwin a TFS stage 1 cam on with GT-40P heads I have to ask which pistons you have. With E7 heads and a TFS stage 1 you would not be able to use flat tops. You would have to use the HO style pistons with the notch outs. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the same thing with the GT-40's.
BTW where is Sicklerville? I lived in Pemberton for 4 years while in the Air Force.
I have a '91 HO motor with factory forged pistons. So there should be absolutely no problems with clearance. Sicklerville is proabably about 45mins from Pemberton if I remember correctly.
i have a stage 2 truck cam with e7 heads with the flat top pistons and everything is fine for me...
