When people get theirs and get them installed will you please post on here your thoughts? Mine wont be on for about a year and I can't wait to hear how it is.
I understand how some people may be frustrated by the time its taking on this but personally when I got into this group buy I had the expectation that it would take awhile and I am not in any dire need of these parts immediately. I am just looking forward to seeing a well put together final...

Oh hey man thank you for the response! I think I will go with the Timken wheel bearings they seem to be what everyone recommends and very reasonably priced. In the future I will probably have to go with some DSS axles but for now I think I will go with the APWI so I can get this thing on the...
Okay I posted this way earlier than I was able to actually start working on it. Ran into every problem possible I think. The drivers side axle is frozen into the hub so I am just going to remove the transmission side and pull the hub/knuckle out with the axle in it still. I am probably going to...
The only thing I am trying to figure out is why I have not seen this build until now! Looks like I will spend the rest of the night looking at your build :sneaky:
Selling RM rear sway bar for a 2g FWD. Just bought this sway bar thinking it was for the AWD, come to find out it is not. Send me a message with an offer.
Thanks for the reply and yeah I think thats the problem I didn't know if there really is much of a way to tell if they are lined up besides just getting it in place and giving er' a nice push. I'm going to pull it out again and try to line those up first.
There a couple dashboard threads I haven't found an answer to this issue through them though. I have the dash all lined up on both sides only problem is I cannot get it pushed into place on either side or in the middle I have tried slamming it with no luck. Contemplating taking it out again and...
Okay awesome! Post updates as you go would like to see, also the painting interior link works very well! I have never used a rattle can in my life or done any painting or really even any mechanical work on a car and I was able to do it almost perfectly my first try with the instructions on...

Non-abs prop valve
Feals coilovers 441
Prothane master bushings kitThese are the current parts I...
Just a little bit. He said it will be $320 + shipping and you need to send him the steering column + key. And that the turn around time is roughly a week!
I am selling FIC 2150 Hi-Z Injectors they are new and never been used. I do not have the original box unfortunately. The price is $630 shipped with fees.
I'll post the pictures tomorrow but so far we have done about 5 hours worth of work and finally have everything disconnected besides the mounts and the suspension stuff. The goal tomorrow is to disconnect the axles and pull the engine/transmission together within about 3 hours but doesn't seem...
This will be my last update post without pictures or without any work being done. Bought a used rear wilwood rear drag kit, FIC 2150 Hi-z injectors and VRSF intercooler. Going to be attempting my first ever engine pull tomorrow starting at 10 am so should be interesting. Having a buddy come over...
I mean for me 600-700hp is kind of an arbitrary number that I came up with to reach my goal to be able to run in the mid 10's potentially even faster, just want to have a car I can take to the track with my dad and very occasionally drive on the road.
I have an auto so not sure if there is something similar I could do for that. I have a few things to figure out for tuning now although I don't plan on doing that myself. Need to decide if I am going speed density or a GM Maf probably going to talk to Whalen about that tomorrow to see what they...
I just spoke with Whalen and they are recommending the Kelford 276 so I think I am going to go with that and they also recommended I stick with the 7 bolt shortblock but said I could do the 6 if I really want to. So not entirely sure what I am going to do with that yet.For the entire longblock...
Thank you for the response, good to hear from someone who has used them. I sent them an email yesterday so hopefully I’ll be able to get started on the engine soon and maybe get this car running this summer. I was looking at their v1 head but I’m not sure what I’m going to do quite yet.
I am going to be sending them my current plan and discussing it with them but I figured I would ask people on here to see if there is additional advice that I haven't found on this forum. Mainly what machining needs to be done. From what I have found this is essentially standard."* Bore and...
My current goals are to build an engine between 600-700hp that will be mainly a drag car but occasionally driven on the street so I am trying to make sure the build will last if driven around town a little bit. After a lot of researching and getting help from multiple members here is what I'm...
Okay thank you! I will look into the evo rear calipers, yeah I was planning on getting rid of the parking break but was on aware of the added stress on the transmission I will have to read into that before I buy anymore parts.Okay thank you! I will take you up on that and probably message you...
Okay thank you, I will start calling around. I know last time I called no places near by had any but I am sure I can find something, not in a huge hurry.Okay thanks, I have looked at a couple auto build threads but I need to start making notes of the things I find. The main reason I went with...
Yeah I have an overall idea of my goals but like you said its not super clear, as I don't fully understand yet what it'll take to accomplish my goals. Essentially my thought is I would like to run 10s in this car to take it to the track with my dad and give us a project to work on together. I...
Okay thanks thats what I was looking for I just had read that they were a lot stronger and I don't plan on getting anywhere nears 7's or 8's. So I guess I will stick with the stock diff, thank you!Yeah its sad I wish I would have noticed before I bought the car but I'll just have to fix it...
Haha yeah, I am excited to start working on it. I need to order the rear wilwoods still and new rotors for the front because the rotors I have are 12.2'' and won't fit a 15'' wheel but I will install them anyways because its going to be awhile before I get 15's. I plan on getting a Paul Volk...
