Grabbed some used 335/30r18’s to mount on my new wheels for science.

? Just need to find the motivation and time to finish up.

Looks like it's getting there. Using stock electronics?

Yes sir

Looks like I’m going back to a Holley HP system after the latest round of “this #### won’t work” as is. Apparently, you can’t use a Cobra ECU/engine harness with a GT dash harness. I’m not going to dick around with repinning the harness to work and just sell it. The HP can run everything anyway.

getting there...

Current status:

Almost ready to rock!

Yeah, Coyote's are the #### but I agree; It's nice to see something 'era specific' instead of the 'easy way out'. I have a basic, ported Eaton swap with 2.76/+4 pullies, a much better heat exchanger and an E85 fuel system to install once I get some other stuff sorted.

Sold that Eaton stuff and then bought Whipple stuff. Sold the Whipple stuff and bought a Coyote. I'm ready for the easy way out!!! :lol:

You’re right! Sold those bad boys to buy a T56 magnum and an Exedy twin disc clutch.

Sold the 4V to a gentleman here and I’m $12k deep into the Coyote swap rabbit hole now.

How about we take a leap forward in time? The car runs great and it has finally been painted.

damn! looks good...how is it to drive?

I really like your car, and I think you did a great job! I really like the body mods, including that sexy T1 wing. I am biased though, because I too have a T1 wing.

It drives really well. I’m still running around on a safe tune until I schedule some dyno time but she’s pretty damn rowdy as is.

The clutch isn’t very traffic friendly but it has gotten better after 1100 miles. The suspension is pretty stiff and the solid bushings greatly amplify NVH. The Volvo electric power steering setup works well too and only feels stressed in hard braking/turning scenarios (ie; autocross)

Speaking of autocross.. Took it out a couple weeks ago and completed the first event. The car did great and we will get faster together as I learn the car.

Show me that T1!

Thanks man!!

 

[somanycorners]

Should’ve been more aggressive but that will come with seat time. The main goal was to give the car a few shakedown runs to make sure “all systems were go” before I push it hard.

Show me that T1!

Thanks man!!

It's great to see people still putting in work on these cars.
