Long term blowthru build

[jeremy23]

Car is going to be a full interior, weekend cruiser with a suspension setup that would let me enjoy a nice hard run out some old country roads if I want. I started the project straight out of undergrad with plans on taking no longer than 6mnths, but thanks to getting into med school the car will have been sitting a little over two years now :bangwall:
Here is my setup:
90 GT Hatch
306ci
9.5:1 Comp.
Edelbrock Performer 58cc Chamber Heads
RPM AirGap
Comp Cams XE270HR-14 cam
.512/.512 lift
218/224 duration
110' centerline
WC T5 (till it blows)
CSU 750 (on order)
EV composite hat(used for the build)
MSD 6AL (all MSD stuff)
MSD Boost Timing Control
Vortech S-Trim (pullied for 15psi)
LM1 wideband
Glens performance sumped
Aeromotive Eliminator pump
Aeromotive 13202 reg

Starting point:

[jeremy23]

Few more pics of the build.

[jeremy23]

Boost tube fab, not bad for an amateur welder.

[jeremy23]

Few of the engine fitment to measure for hood height before going to pick the hood up. Also a final assembled shot to measure for belt lengths and a few other mods and to figure out A/C routing.

[jeremy23]

Some chassis and underbody pics

[jeremy23]

Few random shots and the beginning of my parts pile strewn across the basement. By now I think it has grown x4.

[jeremy23]

Couple pics of some inner fender panels a guy over at corral.net makes. Very little trimming was needed.

[jeremy23]

Managed to get finished welding one panel in the other day and the other tacked, now all that is left is some smoothing down of the welds, and some All-Metal filler.

[jeremy23]

A few pics of some interior toys: the gauges are identical to mine except I'm using Phantom series gauges and I added linear light for my fan, placed between the water temp and volt gauges. My gf was messing with my new camera and deleted everything. I was only able to get the pics that I had already posted elsewhere online :doh: .

Nice build cant wait to see it done.:bigthumb

[jeremy23]

In the mean time I still have my daily driver.:D

[92coupe]

Good looking project!

[jeremy23]

Thanks, next step is waiting on my carb to get powder-coated and reworked by CSU.

[92coupe]

Your engine looks similar to mine.

My combo is 331 stroker tko tremec and 125 shot


Checkout the Wht Mare thread in projects.

[jeremy23]

Project Wht Mare, been watching the updates on it. Good looking build, I always love it when someone sticks with a manual.

[92coupe]

Thanks!

Manual is the only way to go,way more fun to drive!

Plus you can run umtr!

[PonymanfiveO]

Looks great man!

Im doing the same thing with mine right now, fixing all that stuff in the engine compartment. Can you get me in touch with the guy you got those panels from?
Im in dire need of some!

[jeremy23]

Sure no problem, PMed you his email. He's selling them for $90 shipped

[ibstrokin]

Looks like a great project,should be a blast when finished,good luck

[bangingears]

where did you get the piece for the center console that moves the a/c controls and radio and let you put the gauges in there?

[jeremy23]

Impatiently waiting on carb to get done at CSU. :popcorn:

Man that's so cool. I love blow through setups, turbo or supercharger.

[jeremy23]

Supercharger for now, Vortech S-trim @15psi

[jeremy23]

Took a few more pics while I was home dropping some things off Saturday. The parts pile has grown quite a bit from the last pic of it. Lets see what you guys can identify from the pics:coo1: . I also managed to find some hard copies of the pics my gf deleted, when I get a chance I'll scan a few and post up what the car looked like when I started.

[PonymanfiveO]

whats the first one?

almost looks like a recovered door panel.

[jeremy23]

New door panels from 50resto, im redoing the whole interior in black.

[jeremy23]

I finally managed to get some of my old pics scanned, not very high quality though. Pics of when i first bought the car and one when I was putting the shortblock together. It made for a niece center piece in the living room of my old apartment. Also, other members have been interested in the inner fender panels made for me, the email of the guy who made them is v6sprout@gmail.com and he is making more and only asking $90 shipped for them.

[juiced347]

edit just saw that you posted his email addy and nice looking build you have going on

[jeremy23]

I decided to take half the day off studying and relax some. Then ended up getting bored so I snapped some pics of other things waiting to go on the car, still waiting on the carb though, but it I was told it should ship this week. Pics include 99 Cobra front calipers on 95GT spindles/hubs, MM Adjustable LCAs, Cowl panel, and Wolfe Racecraft Crotch Strap brackets

[jeremy23]

Finally be getting the carb back soon, got the phone call today saying it was done. I'll be sending payment out in the morning and hopefully be getting it by mid next week.

[stangman_5]

Pretty cool build man, Love the cowl vent u got, What did that cost you?

[jeremy23]

$40 plus shipping, found it somewhere on ebay.

[jeremy23]

Carb showed up today and d@mn does it look nice.

[ibstrokin]

That thing looks awesome, good luck

[Quiksilver]

That carb looks sweet. When does it all go together?

[jeremy23]

When does it all go together?

Hahaha, I have been asking myself that for a while now. Most likely when I can get more than an hour every few months to work on it.

[91lxnos]

Couple pics of some inner fender panels a guy over at corral.net makes. Very little trimming was needed.

Do you have a link for those panels?????? Car looks Killer Good Luck!

[jeremy23]

His email is v6sprout@gmail.com. This is the thread at corral.net http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=692716&page=41&highlight=engine+bay its kinda long so you might want to start at the end. But he's in there as v6sprout.

[5.0calypso93lx]

Looks awesome! I LOVE those lower control arms. Those are 99+ v6/gt calipers though, not cobra's.

[jeremy23]

Those are 99+ v6/gt calipers though, not cobra's.

I realized that recently, but since I bought them where I used to work I'm going to order another set in and see if I get Cobras next time. If not no biggie, being they didnt cost me anything.

[jeremy23]

Was at the garage this weekend, not long enough to get any work done on the car. But I did drop the hood on and bolted up the carb just to see how they look. Also got another part in last week too. Next time I get the chance Im going to drop the motor in to make sure it clears the hood, since I have made some changes since I ordered it.
