What's the next part you're buying? Suspension, driveline, motor, cup holder?
Next thing I'm buying is a set of file fit moly rings from either Albert and childs or Speed Pro. |

In the morning, I'm driving the 50 miles to Automotive Machine and Supply in Ft. Worth, Texas (shameless plug) and pick up my new bullet.
Began tearing down the white car this afternoon ... |

Sooner or later, I'll have to fix the tranny, and that will kick off the "might as well" list that kept me from fixing it last winter.

Mostly piddly stuff to finish the prep work on the LS1, for the v6 to v8 swap. Need to get these items picked up in the next few days:
* Front tranny seal before I put the converter, tranny, and engine back together. * Hi-side ps hose, since the one on the swap engine is crimped in one of the bends. * Tranny filter and fluid to refill it after putting the shift kit in. Rear seal too. * Maybe starter and/or alternator. Every other rotating piece on the outside was shot.... Pulleys, water pump, etc. So the alternator and starter are suspect too. Stuff I ordered/picked up just this week: * one motor mount (the right one was bent) * pressure bleeder for brakes * reservoir cap pre-tapped for fitting for pressure bleeder * adapter for 5 wire maf to 3 wire maf + 2 wire iat * alignment turnplates * air block off plates for the MAC headers. That reminds me, I have a 255lph fuel pump to put in too. Gotta replace that v6 pump.... Anybody have any leads on a nice cover plate I could put back over the hole I'm going to cut out over the fuel pump? I could make one, but if I could get something universal, I'd look into that. Especially if it had a sealing door.... Later this year, a 6pt bolt-in roll bar. Possibly a lightweight battery. |

T2R, then long tube headers, and finally roll cage and seats.
After that, not much! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Pacesetter LTs and Y w/ 3.5" spintech exhaust to a single outlet crossflow spintech muffler. I think should meet sound requirements. And the deluxe Road race seat at I.O. Port and a 6pt. camlock harness.

I need to put a roll bar in it, but... |

If all goes well.... Inspection, registration, insurance.... then perhaps a clutch and a T2r. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I might still get a 99+ plastic tank to replace the 98 metal tank... If I do that, it would make sense to try to do it at the same time as the fuel pump. But I'm kinda getting tired of adding more and more sub-projects onto this engine swap! It is supposed to be good for 18lbs though. And it looks like weight reduction is the next thing I'll be experimenting with on this car. |
