It's back in the garage. The Mustang is finished (needs tuned, but otherwise done) and has been relocated to its home and the (now super dusty) Camaro has been retrieved from the dark corner of a storage unit. I need to mount a rear view mirror, tie up a few more wires and do something about a windshield. I'm almost ready to just put the lexan in it, but I really don't want to deal with lexan right now (scratching and other care issues).

Sounds like fun Kevin! I haven't read all 23 pages but what engine are you using? It's an engine I built years ago for my '89 Formula (but never fired before selling the car and the engine...the engine went to a friend for this car and I bought it back...lol). It's a splayed main cap, .020 over (353 cu in), 1 piece rear main seal block. ZZ3 forged crank, Lunati street race rods, billet timing set, comp roller cam (220/230 .510/.510), ZZ3 heads with under cut Manley valves, Holley stealth ram intake, torque plate honed, deck plugs, 0 decked, balanced, etc, etc, etc. It's likely 370-380 hp at the flywheel and should be pretty close to right for AI...give or take... |

Any idea how much fuel is in this thing? I came home today to find it pissing fuel from the lines. I cracked the cap loose and that stopped it, but it made me think.
Stupid warm days causing thermal expansion. It had nothing to do with me beating on it and running an impact... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I tried to drain the tank and got about 7 gallons. I "thought" there was 12-14 gallons in it.

Kevin, thanks. I'll have to try to hot wire the fuel pump.
Todd: I can try, but I'm not the greatest at documentation and it's already had a lot of work done. I'll see what I can do. |

You need to make a build thread for the rest of the CMC guys who want to build a 3rd gen... I started to do this last year on TGO. It's taken me until now to get caught up to the beginning of 2011! http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/members-...-road-race.html This post has been edited by Alien: May 11 2012, 06:08 PM |
