What is everyone's plans for thier car?

I have a few ideas of my own, but I know some of you guys have some interesting ideas. I just want to know what plans you have for your car? I'm looking for some neat ideas to use.

there is no end to mods. however, in my budget, i plan to put headers, catback, polish/port plenum, & rebuild w/mild cam. i already have a half-polished plenum, K&N, polished taillights, muffler delete, white-faced guage overlays, new floor mats, 2-12" RF subs and pioneer amp. cant wait til i get my french trip paid off($2000), school (student loans-$50000 after 5 years) and money i owe my dad ($1,000). so in about 30 years or so......

As far as appearance goes, I'm done, except when I'm done with the engine and everything, get the car completely repainted. I want to get new carpetting, and get the other 2 speakers hooked up (only the ones in the dash are working now).

As far as performance, just get it to go as fast as I can with the stock 305 block.

Car: 91 Maro & 97 Ram & 05 Roadstar
Engine: LS1
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 2.73
These are my plans:
1. Get the LT1 Cam installed remove AIR hopefully next weekend.
2. SFC's and STB
3. Buy a 350 block, and to save a bunch of space, bore out to 355 and put a supercharger on it with EFI for gas milage. And 4" cowl.
4. Beef up the TH700R4 and install a 9.5" lock-up converter
5. New KYB Struts Shocks and Springs
6. Odds and ends on suspension.
7. Power windows / Locks
8. Z28 Grill and Aero wing.

Thats what I'm hoping can get done or mostly. The reason I can afford this is because I'm 16 with few bills (car, insurance, phone,) and the rest goes into my baby.

Honestly, I've saving for a 400 aftermarket block with a procharger. 9" with a built turbo 350 will be included at sometime.

Aiming for low 10's, high 9's.


We'll see if it happens. Doubtful, but hopefully.

SFC's
LCA's
Springs
Shocks
Struts
Panhard bar
Bushings
Torque Arm
Ported manifold
1.6 roller rockers
AFPR
3000 Torque Converter
Ignition
Injecters flow benched
Nitto 555R's
and finally,
150hp shot of NOS

13's should be no problem!! Maybe 12's??

Well my $5500 plans turned into $10200 plans and the car still isnt driveable. And none of that went into any kind of power adder like I wanted either.

IF I have any money left over from this hell I wanna do the following probably in this order too:

-Polish T-tops & taillights
-make all plastic in the car look nice
-Replace carpet on console & sail panels
-Fix saggy passenger door.
-New door & t-top locks, might as well do latches for door while I'm at it.
All the cheap stuff done...

-Stereo: head unit, front/rear speakers... anythings better than stock!
-Toying with the idea of a PC in the car.
-And finnaly the next big drain.. a new paint job Whole car needs it bad.

I never thought I'd put more than 5 grand in this car... let alone 10+.

I am planning on selling my car...'88 TC..and getting another fbody..I miss my TA. Too bad that idiot totalled her. But if I decide on keeping the TC I heard it isnt hard to put her in the 13's. So that may be an optional plan.

What did you mod on the nose?

I too have a long to do list/wish list. Until I get a fairly stable job after I graduate college, I'm holding off on the big plans like an engine rebuild and a paint job.


My plans for the short run:

1. patch up the holes in my air dam
2. round driving lights
3. MSD distributor boots to use the 71' Ford 351C wires on my
engine.
4. put in power door locks - I already have the kit, just not
installed yet
5. try to remove the scratches in my hood from scraping 6 inches
of ice off.
6. get some sort of back cushion pads for my seats until I can
afford Sparcos. That 4 hour drive to Carbondale is brutal after
2 hours
7. Finding that coolant leak.
8. Basically, keeping it as simple, uncluttered, and clean as
possible. If there is a part I don't use, never used, or will
never use in the future - I will just get rid of it for the sake of
simplification.

Most immediately, I plan to install my SLP headers with a Hooker catback, limited slip, shift kit, TBI mods, SFC's, and some more detailing. Eventually, I'm thinking of: a TBI 350 swap (simple and cheap) a 383 (have the important parts) or an LT1/T56 swap, all depending on money and time. Then paint it and whatever else I think of and can afford... Not very original, I realize, but I do like the stock appearance of the car (mostly) and will probably do mostly mechanical mods. Although some full length SS type stripes - not like the 25th Anniversary cars, and a cowl induction hood could happen...
