Shit Don!! its taking a while!! your either super busy or your parts are taking months to get there?!?!

My84Z 11-23-2009 09:54 PM

Time is money!!!

Every time I plan to finish it stuff comes up.

Last week looked real slow and I was excited to finish the car.By the end of monday there were 3 Vette's and 2 F-body's dropped off. Shit....

The intake got back ordered right when the order was placed.I'm tempted to install the driveline but it will be a bitch to port match the intake after.

Hey busy is good though, especially in this economy

y not make a template to use before you install the drive train?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 11-24-2009 06:43 AM

its not that simple Boomer. have to get the right angle or atleast make sure they mate up perfectly. its not just gaskets matching it. way more to it then that.

Slowhawk 11-24-2009 08:44 PM

What Pizza said.I need to imprint the intake on the heads to made sure they line up right.

Now I'm trying to find a 100mm+ TB.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 11-24-2009 09:52 PM

What about the Twin 67mm Cobra TB with a Sullivan elbow? http://www.sullivanperformance.com/Y.../tbadapter.htm

Seen a few guys over on LS1 tech make this work on the LS motors i guess there is a conversion adapter to run the LS1 style IAC on the ford flange. just a thought. that fuckin thing flows 1350cfm.

Slowhawk 11-25-2009 01:02 AM

The TB flows but that 90 doesn't. I've already used a shitty elbow like that before and costs us 100rwhp on a 408ci.

Actually still have it at the shop collecting dust.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 11-25-2009 01:52 AM

So then that isnt a good elbow to use? Glad i didnt spend the 500 bux on it. not like i was going to But they made an adapter to use the LT1 TB onto that elbow. so what elbow are you running? sheetmetal?

84ta406 11-25-2009 02:46 AM

I guess wilson lol

I think this is the first time I've see don get excited about any car.

I dont know if you'd be able to find any traction on these cold roads even if you did get it on the road in the next couple weeks. Sure would be fun trying though.

I get more ticked off when shit isn't right.My cars are always problems.Here are some picks with the elbow.Fit alot better than I thought it would.

Batman 11-30-2009 04:21 PM

does the hood close or are you going to get a different one

ILuvPizzaTimes10 11-30-2009 04:24 PM

i was just thinking the same thing. i doubt it will even with a ram air hood. but i bet a cowl hood could be trimmed up and fit right on?

Slowhawk 11-30-2009 04:34 PM

Ram Air hood will fit no problem. I'll cut my shitty hood for clearance.After I'll have a cowl put on.
