Just a minor update... - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Figured I'd post an update of where my car is at now. Spent a while during my off time doing a T-56 swap on the V6. Installed new suspension components as well as Blainefab spacers. I'm loving this car even more with the manual trans. I had a 3800 stall and a built auto before, and decided to try and sell it off since the drag strips are dead around here.

Anybody know what class I'd be in if I were to go to an SCCA event on street tires?

Anyway, here we go!

New parts:

Suspension/Chassis:
Front:
Strano 35mm swaybar
Strano SP141 springs
Koni Yellow 4/4 shocks
Rear:
Strano 22mm swaybar
Strano SP141 springs
Koni Yellow 4/4 shocks

ARP Wheel studs & Blainefab 1/2" spacers

Drivetrain:
UMI Torque Arm Relocation Cross member
Mal-Wood Ecotec V6 to T-56 bellhousing adapter
Tick performance master cylinder
Centerforce clutch
GTO MM12 T-56 (6-speed transmission)
MGW T-56 shifter

Spent most of the day doing this last part of buttoning everything back in with new carpet:

How it sits now (on lower spring perch up front and still have the isolators in the rear):
