Wow, nice projects. Nice garage too. Must be nice to be able to come home and work on your projects away from the customer stuff. I'm aiming towards being able to do that myself someday.
My project is at a standstill just due to lack of time. Heads are ported, new springs, seals and hardware are sitting there to assemble them. Shortblock has been done for quite a while now. Just need to assemble and install. Then get the holley setup and wire that up. Should be a breeze with as many as I've done so far. Probably have some progress soon.

It is. I had the Nova sitting here at the shop for a few months and didnt do anything to it. I got it home and started working on it that day. It must be a mental thing I guess.
Post up some pics! Its always cool to see what everyone else is working on.

Thanks!
This weather is a zero motivator thou. I mean, I have about a couple hours of wiring left to do, but Ive been plugging away on my truck.
Whats going on with your project?

Still trying to get out of my own way. I work on it here and there but not often enough, motivation comes and goes, unfortunately it seems more often it goes. :rolleyes:

My car is still pretty much a shell after getting it back from getting 25.5'd. New project starting soon will be getting a 30x36' shop built. Hope to have the contractor start on it in March.

Awaiting dry weather to install front Strange adjustable struts and drag springs. Hopefully the car will clear the driveway curb afterward. If not then its time for QA1 coil overs up front in the drag series with single adjustable rebound and 170lb springs, and of course the required camber caster plates.

Hey Cameron, check out what they do to these headers on this youtube. These guys end up having to mash both sides almost flat to get any reduction in HP caused by restriction. I couldn't get over it...neither could they. It's a must watch before installing headers.

Kooks wants to blame it the fact they sell these as Fox Body swap headers and I have a SN95.

Cameron. That stinks. And a fox with a coyote and a tko would have the same location for the trans x member. Silly. What clutch did you end up putting in there?

Good question. We talked about a few options but I think it still has the Spec stage 1 that was behind my 2V though Mike may put a stage 2 disc in. I also have a McCleod RXT in my garage for when I decide to turn things up.

The spec stage 1 went back in the car since it was in good condition.

Mine is actually still running from last year, amazingly enough! I am currently installing an onboard air system to run boost control and for airing up the tires. Also upgrading some of the wiring, removing weight, and some interior mods long overdue. :D

Both cars are in a million pieces scattered all over the place. Most of the parts for the 2015 are due to arrive in the next 2-3 weeks so hopefully I can get it together by spring.

I think I'm on the home stretch. Motor and exhaust is in the car, fuel tank is in. Need to run fuel lines mount a pump. Then wire the car front to back, battery to waterpump. I have close to no room to do all this so motivation is a minimum. Been pondering paying someone to do it lol I just wanna race again

You have some pics of your setup or how big is your tank?

Heres mine. Not sure if it will work, but Im only using it for the WGs. I have a 0-200 psi sensor on the outlet and I have it controlled by the Holley Dominator to turn off and the Air pump when needed.

Mine is the VIAIR10000 ultra light duty setup. Your pump looks like it wont have a problem keeping up, its 4 times the size of mine. I will get some pics of my setup on here as soon as I can.
