This should give you all an idea of what's coming:

Nicey Nice.....
now Checkout this current storyline and the vids.
Guy is going 9's with a Non LS1 Smallblock w/ Boost thru a stock (I kid you not) 2.73 10 bolt & driving it out easy.

Niceness!!!! I'm actually shooting for 9's and mid 140's out of this one, but it will be difficult as it's a six speed. Goal is to be a daily driver capable car though, and it should do it, with a/c even.

black Blown vette

That thing is going to be a beast.

I have a basically new Street twin setup if you need a clutch for it.

Fastbird

Have one in the box right now, thanks though!

HP ADDICT

No problem. I am parting out my 94. I have alot of parts including a BigStuff3 system, nexus gauges that mount in the vents of a firebird, BMR k member and alot of other stuff. Let me know if you think of anything!

Fastbird

Just finished wiring in my FAST XFI, BMR K-Member is hanging from the motor, haven't decided on gauges but given I have nexus in the Vette and Celica, I will probably take a different route with the bird. Anything else??

What I specifically could use would be fuel injectors if they're big enough or fuel system components as that's what I don't have done yet. Meth injection system too.

That thing is sweet. I love the nassau blue vette, I looked all over for one before I bought mine. I'm from Sparta Il just right south of you.

Fastbird

You don't work at Scott do you?? There's two Nassau Blue Vette's besides mine running around that base.

melloyello1963

No I work in Marissa, IL. I had a black 01. Now I have a TBSS. My wife and I wanted a child so my vette had to go. I'd love to get another on but I don't see it in my near future. I also have 94 TA I drive for a work car every day. That motor looks like it will be fun to cram into that thing.

Fastbird

Gotcha.

Everything should fit in there quite nicely. The worst part is going to be finding a fan setup to squeeze in without the turbo compressor housing riding against it. The rest of the piping is pretty nicely tucked and is routed around key components really nicely. The guy that designed the kit really did a bang up job on it considering his mock up motor didn't have a 7qt Milodon pan or BMR K-Member.

Fastbird

Finally got some time recently to get some stuff done. Got the K-Member and A-Arms swapped, and buttoned up the motor today (freeze plugs and cam plug) and got the street twin clutch installed on the block. Just the bellhousing and tranny and I can drop it all into the car. It's pretty much nuts and bolts from there.

Looks good Sean, I have come to harass you on more message board fronts, not that I ever look in the C6 for sale section or anything.

Fastbird

Oh, I figured you'd have to be on here lurking somewhere Neil!

MilleniumVette

Okay.... you got me drooling over that motor.

I can't wait to see pics when you raise the motor/k-member back in.

Fastbird

You'll be waiting a long time for that. It's going in the same way it came out thanks to a little tool called the "Happy Hooker"......sorry no blow to go with that.

MilleniumVette

Cool deal! I've seen some tackle going from above, but most I've seen decide to go through the bottom. Either way, it looks like you'll have a killer ride!

Fastbird

Thanks!! I'm hoping it's going to be more potent than my Vette. The Vette is my "adult" car.....the T/A is my "when I absolutely want to destroy everything I can" car.

As for the install, I thought about doing it from the bottom, but for some reason I'm just more comfy doing things through the top. Pulled and done three that way without issue, though a LOT of the success is because of that "Happy Hooker" that I've got. Angles things just right for an easy pluck and drop.

It won't be running for a little while. Waiting on my home refi to close before I order my fuel system stuff (over $1K in -AN fittings and hoses, two pumps, regulator, ect), and have a bead on a nice used Alky Control Meth kit for $300, and still have to fab cold side piping, mount the intercooler, get a couple of gauges, ect. I figure if all goes well and I can keep making progress I'll be firing it up around the end of April and PRAYING that nothing breaks because of how long the motor has been sitting.

Fastbird

This was NOT a one man job for the faint of heart. My back is killing me but the end result is sooooo worth it.
