Try Me

[lxenvy]

Well some of you know I'm back, I went to bikes for awhile and that got old quick so here i am. I sold my bikes and bought a coupe and some parts. The car is a 1990 4cyl car that i have done a complete v8 swap the right way. I didn't have a camera when i bought the car so no before pics. But anyways to the parts,

Stock block (rods, crank, pistons etc) New bearings and pump
ARP oil pump shaft
Canton 7qt
Edlebrock heads
Edlebrock intake
42lb inj
Arp head bolts
Areo. FPR
1.7 RR
Ecam
MLS Gaskets
Vortech YS renegade, All cog pulley
Kurgan Blower brace
75mm TB
80mm Mass air
Rob @ Rigid Custom long tube headers (ceramic) Custom xpipe. All v-band
Sure I'm forgetting some stuff

Suspension
UPR K-member
UPR lower control arms
Strange adju. Struts
UPR coil overs
UPR Caster plates

Rear
UPR Double adju. uppers
UPR adju. lowers (no spring perch)
Stange adju. shocks
UPR coil over kit
UPR anti roll bar
UPR full length conn.
Spherical housing bushings

Other small stuff like line lock, gauges, Etc
Stock t5 w/spec clutch, UPR clutch cable/quadrant/firewall adj, Stock 8.8, stock fuel lines, 255 pump. As u can see i ran out of money quick. Still need to get rear end built, another tranny, fuel, Block etc. Stuff that will hold up to the power of the YS. But I'm going with what i have now. Just trying to get it put together and on the road. Have a shit ton of hours to put into her but i got nothing but time right now. Maybe looking to get a PLATED paint job sometime down the road. And Mustangboy to do some coating on the blower brackets. But i will post some pics and get some more as i build it. Wish me luck. Oh and i would like to thank Ray, Craig, Nathan, Shanon, and everyone else that has helped me out along the way so far. Plan to have her out in January but we will see. Damn X-Mas is getting in my way lol.

The pics of the tower is where my grandpa braced them. Wasnt really rusted out just thought with all the added stress to them from the coil overs it would help.

:bigthumb Yes sir. Imma take it easy and try to under tune it for around 450 or so. Dunno if i can pull that off but imma try. Might have to go to a 12 rib to get pulleys to get the boost way down. But tranny is the last thing imma buy. Block, rear end, tranny. Just want to get it in and running. Make sure all the wiring and shit is good.

You can leave it the way it is if you want... I had mine like that on my cobra for more clearance from the anti-roll bar. It would hit when I was hill jumping:lol: Flipped it and was fine.
