well the cars hopefully nearing completion/in progress so i figured id start a thread now and try to keep it updated.
About three months ago i headed down to louisvile with trailor in tow to go check out a LT1 trans am
It's a 1993 black with black leather interior, only 74k miles.
the had been forsale for a long time and the price kept getting lower and lower. This is how the car looked a few years ago when it was mint.

unfortunately the distributor started going out on the car and the owner let it sit and the driveway and begin to go downhill
when i got down to look at it heres how it sat

looked like a diamond in the rough to me:bigthumb
so I stole it for $3300 bucks loaded it on the trailor and headed home
for 3300 i got a TA with mint leather int. 74k original miles and heres the mod list:
Mini-Tubbed, narrowed ford 9'' with 3.70's moser 31 spline axles and a tru-trac all with 2k miles on it, 3 Piece FIKSE 18x10 fronts and 18x12 rears, Custom front hubs with tubular control arms, Heimed linked custom tubular rear 4 link trailing arms, Heimed trackrod for rear end. Triangulated front strut bar. brand new CPT pro race 4l60, Yank 3200 stall, Flowmaster 3" Catback with cutout, Carrera aluminum coilovers all the way around, 13" Willwood slotted and drilled with 6 piston calipers for front and 12.5" Willwood slotted and drilled with 4 piston Dynalite style calipers for rear
got home and got it washed up and she cleaned up pretty well, should look good after a full buff and detail

So, with the distributor going out I pulled it of the trailor and tucked it away in the garage to decide what the plans were going to be.
a couple of weeks went by and i stumbled across a nice loking turbo setup on LS1tech.
went down and met the guy halfway in kentucky
I picked up:
Garret GT42 turbo
hot and cold pipes, cold pipes are polished stainless steel
intercooler
tial bov and tial 44mm wastegate
flowmatched precision 98lb injectors
F.A.S.T. standalone engine management with wideband o2option and 3 bar map sensor.
motor plate
water pump milled 0.25 to account for motor plate

next I had to decide if i should run it on the stock motor for a while or do a built motor.
Found a guy up in youngstown ho had a motor sitting in his garage that he bought of his friend tobail him out of a financial situation he was in.
got some details arranged and got the motor payed for. Should be a tough one built with all the best stuff.
-Callies splayed 4 bolt billet caps
-Oliver 5.85 BILLET rods,
-Callies 3.75" crank,
-8.5:1 J&E forced induction pistons
-CC billet 248/248 solid roller custom forced induction cam
-CC solid roller lifters
-AFR CNC competition ported 227 heads with solid roller springs
-Jesel shaft mount rocker arms
-Cloyes billet roller LT1 timing chain
-MSD Probillet distributor
-Ported LT4 Intake converted for use with conventional rear mount distributor
-DRM 58m TB
-MSD crank trigger setup
heres some pics of it with the old setup on it that was going to go ino a C4

Thanks man! Yeah the wheels alone polished up could sell for close what i gave for the car. Not to mention the wilwoods all the way around, 2300 dollar pro race tranny, narrowed 9", coilovers etc. I could have bought the car and doubled my money as it sat with little effort.

I'm just a big fan of a bad ass street car, and to me that means some sick wheels with no skinnies in the front, bad ass brakes and a big turbo :D The only thing I'm not to fond of is the auto, even though I know it is faster with it. Sucks that the cold piping is stainless too, but o well, that thing isn't going to notice a few extra lbs from the cold piping :lol:

It may just get a whole new custom kit next year with the 91mm, we'll see what i feel like doing. I'd say the difference in the IC piping would be less than 5lbs changing to aluminum

spent yesterday up at rigid making some more progress on the car helping out where i can. I can't say enough good things about these guys! Can't wait to see the finished product.
When i got there we pushed the car outside and began the task of cleaning up the engine bay. It was nasty.
heres the car with the wiring all bagged up ready to be washed.

got it all cleaned up and back inside. Next we chopped out the radiator support. you can see the degreased bay in this pic too.

After the chromoly tube goes in for the radiator support, the motor plate and mid plate brackets get welded in, and the plate gets made for the heater core blockoff. the engine bay is getting scuffed up and repainted with a nice semi-gloss black.
then more work and more pics:D

motor and mid plate are bolted up to the motor and the new motor is sitting in the car on the stock K-member for the brackets to be welded to the frame. Then it's all coming back out to paint the bay, and then it goes back in for good with the Kmember with no motor mounts

they started laying out the FAST to get it all sorted out and loomed up/etc.

04-24-2009, 08:15 PM
I dont know how familiar you are with LT1s but they came with the Optispark distributor which is a cam driven dist. located behind and below the waterpump on the front of the block. They cause nothing but problems, the rotor inside is prone to failure at high RPM, as well as moisture being a major problem to them. So im sure you can see how being below the waterpump works out great for them. LOL

I'm considering the same thing that's why I asked haha. After my junk being move around and worked around so much, it's gone a few marks and it never really did get a full wetsanding and buffing so it would really set it off.

gonna pick a day this weekand get up to rigid with rob and spend an entire day knocking out the last 2 things before the motor can come back out and paint the bay : need to drop the crossover pipe down .5-1" to clear the canton C4 vette pan thats on the car. finish the radiator support and get the griffen mocked up. then its finaly the home stretch, the motor can go back in for good and wire the FAST up and do a few small things like the AN fittings and lines on the waterpump and radiator that are gonna replace the rubber lines and clamps.

no it starts right up and purrs beautifully , but it just has a startup tune on it at the moment.
one of the AN fitting on the radiator is leaking, and a pinhole leak at the fuel sump. once those are fixed (hopefully this weekend) it will be going back to tracey to be street tuned

Your just digging yourself deeper, theres too many factors here to determine that, head flow, boost, cam specs and duration, etc...Only the dyno will tell.

I got some new goodies installed. Strange Pro Series drag brakes, 5/8 stud kit, 15x12 billet specialties street lites with 325/50/15. and 17x7 front runners to clear my wilwood 6 piston brakes. I'll probably end up going strange drag brakes on the front too and going to 15's. or having the 17's narrowed to 4''
also got the interior all torn out. leaving saturdy morning for michigan

Car looks killer, this will shut the ls1 fags up for a bit I hope. You should tell people its a t25 with a 460 lift cam, that's what cool people with lt1's do anyway. Oh yeah, and stock heads too.

Got my shifter installed finnally along with the linkage and cable all set up properly. This was probably the biggest pain in my ass on the whole car due to shitty instructions from B&M and a shifter thats made to fit like 10 different transmissions with pulling a pin here, adding a pin there, this bracket for this, spacers for this no spacers if its this. Finnaly got it all figured out with enough trial and error.
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=13879&pictureid=54035
got the piping all changed up to fit the new setup, fuel rails and lines all bolted up. just need to mount the map sensor somehwere now and run a vaccuum line to it as there is no longer a provision in the manifold itself.
