I have lost my mind!!
As some of you know, I've been a hardcore NA guy forever. While I lurk, and occasionally post in this section, getting the most from an all motor setup is what I find fun and challenging... The last time I ran the car, we made a video.
That said, I have sold almost all of my NA LS7 stuff. Bought an iron 6.0 block and a Forced Inductions T4-76mm turbo. (class rules) Planning on 370ci Gonna fill it to the water holes with Hard Block. Forged rotating assembly 11:1 compression on E98 ARP Head/Main studs Air 2 Water intercooler BTR springs and likely get him to grind me a cam too. It'll have a Pro-Flo intake. Current plan is to use the 317 heads that came with the 6.0 to see how far I can go, before switching out to some Tooley worked TFS220s The car is in the chassis shop right now getting a 25.5 cage. Once out, it'll go to paint. I removed the hatch and installed a hardtop. Flared rear quarters. I'm really hoping to have it together by LSFest. It'll be tight, but my fingers are crossed. I'll start adding pics as the work progresses... |

I was wondering when you were finally going to post this up . Looking forward to the build |
Start by removing the hatch and the upper part of the tub. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...fda6d0994.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...a1669d4dc.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...6aa32cf91.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...dabdf15f2.jpeg Strip out the engine bay and the interior. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...5366681ce.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...fde95ef25.jpeg Loaded on the trailer headed to the chassis shop. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...891c7f7ce.jpeg |
Doing a little mock up of stuff. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...cc82b70a0.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...7afde4d69.jpeg And the baby turbo... 76/87 1.10 A/R. Probably not the best T4-76 available, but a good starter for me. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...ae64ec31a.jpeg |
