Re: Took TONS of new pics of my bird! Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from what i hear, is they have a stroker kit for those LT motors that can punch them out to 396 CID. also what kind of tuning did you have to do to make it run good?

Nice!!!!!
You put a areo wing third brake light under the normal rear spoiler, nice!
Not a fan of the 98-02 ram air hoods for 3rd gens, but.......
That is one sweet *ss ride, someone put a lot of time into the detail(s) and it shows!

^That is the '93 - '97 ram air....
Flippin sweet car, and an inspiration to get mine done. Great job.
Only thing I'd do is pull the front plate, but I guess that's not up to you, eh?

Re: Took TONS of new pics of my bird! Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So how does it run? Haha. Awesome car. Specifically the engine bay. Whoo, one of the cleanest and neatest I have ever seen. The mud flaps are questionable, but appropriate. However, it looks as though they only guard 5in of your 10in wheels. And i definitely would cover your components in the hatch, it looks like a yard sale for theifs. But then again, by the looks of it, this probably isnt your grocery getter anyways right? Great car, gotta respect black.
Oh, on a side note: Is it necessary to use a 4L60E with the LT and LS motors or will a good old 700R4 work?

Re: Took TONS of new pics of my bird! Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all the props!
- Used Tunercat and Datamaster to fine tune a few things
- Can't do anything about the front plate...gotta have it
- I have some plans about the hatch area. First the glass is gonna get tinted
- You could use a 700r4 w/ the LT1, but why would you want to
- Top Rad mount is from an early Chevelle (w/ some modification of course)

Re: Took TONS of new pics of my bird! Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by far the sexiest bird ive seen in a long time, that has a ton of detail. the 94-97 ram air hood looks killer, and the LT1 is very underestimated and will run like a raped ape. good move on the coil pack conversion and got rid of the opti-crap...wheels look great too...

Well, It seems my plans for my ride have changed....haha. VERY clean car. I just spent hours making my engine bay chromed but now yours makes mine look like a bag of *sses.
What are those wheels and tires? They are exactly what i have been looking for.

Re: Took TONS of new pics of my bird! Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just noticed, is your cruise working? It looks unhooked.
Also, what gauge pillar pod is that, it seems to sit a bit higher than autometers as theirs sits almost on the dash pad.
Also, 3rd post, first picture, top right of picture. Do you have a filter inline with your overflow line?

Have you submitted pictures of this car to Hotrod Magazine? They should definatly do a shoot of your car man! Totally awesome job! You know with cars like yours out there we can help to shake the stigma that thirdgens are now and always will be junk cars. Who knows.

Re: Took TONS of new pics of my bird! Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, didn't realize I was getting all these props and replies! (thirdgen stopped sending me notices) lol. Anywho, thanks again!!
My cruise isn't hooked...all I have to do is run the throttle cable, but I'm debating just getting rid of it, as who uses it w/ with this beast? haha...
A-Pillar Gauge Pod is an autometer "finessed" to lift it off the dash
Strut Mounts are polished alum. from Spohn.
I'll post a new pic of the sounds in the back. I reversed the subs around w/ some mods to my box Looks much cleaner, as previously mentioned.
My overflow tank is sealed alum. so there is no telling how much juice is in there. I put a "sight glass" inline so I'll know when the tank is full
So, you think I should send over to Hot Rod? I never submitted to any of those mags yet

This is probably one of the cleanest thirdgens I've seen, definitely the cleanest bird. Good Job! Must have taken a lot of time and money.
