hahahah i always drive so fast that the cool air comming trou the engine bay!!!
just kidding!!!
i will in the future make the air filters in the front of the engine bay!
so the battery going in the trunk then i have enough space for the air filter on the passenger side!
Here's mine since I finally got it going again. Still plenty of clean up work to do with all the wires. I'll wait till I get it broke in. Also have to get the correct radiator hose. Someone else said that in '92 the water neck was the angled style. My '91 the water neck pointed straight forward. Will an upper hose from a '92 fit right in? Cause I see I'm about the only one using that ugly hose.
heres a couple first one a buddy of mine recorded with a terrible camera, the second one was recorded with a better camera but the car was runnin terrible for some reason...bad plugs were the culprit.
the vid description says you have 2" headers. i don't see 2" headers, i see what looks like some hedman lontubes. got any pics of these custom 2" headers?

the pictures are 2 years old, those were actually hedman you are correct, since the pictures, ive bought Ed Quay custom headers for it there actually 1 7/8 stepped to a 2" about 1" off the block to cheat having to put the big block adapter which the guy that makes them recomended, and he ported them so its a smooth transition to the 2" so it flows perfect. my buddy put up an unauthorized description of the car..but heres the picture
best headers ive ever seen in terms of build quality and flow, i used to boost creep at high rpm to 11lbs now it sits at 7lbs right throught the rpm range, and i just put moroso spiral flow mufflers with turndowns right on the ends of the headers so it sounds ridiculous. well worth the large sum of money that they cost me, but simply put with the motor jacked up it took less than 30 seconds per side to fit in with only slight motor mount modification. worth every penny!!
heres my work i progress doing a bmr k member swap a long with a tranny swap 700r4 to a th400. 1 3/4" dougs headers wrapped just waiting on the lower control arms
Just finished TPI to carb conversion. Best thing i have ever did. Have a ZZ430 clone. (fastburn 385 with HOT cam and 1.6 rocker upgrade). Installed a mallory three port return regulator, Performer RPM airgap and BG 750 VAC SEC crate motor carb, tuned for this motor. Moroso 2'' drop aircleaner tucks just under the factory iroc louvered hood.

Almost done under the hood, waiting on J&M strut bushings.
This is a serpentine/electric fan conversion on my 82 T/A
Am currently finishing up an electric speedo dash conversion '140MPH/8000RPM'
man, i have a tuned port inj. 350 and i thought it looked cool, but after i saw these pics, these look so much better in these cars i nmy opinion haha. so much less clutter and crap, and i bet the powerband doesnt DROP TO ZERO at a little after 4.5k rpm. i was thinking about upgrading to stealthram in the future, but i may have to think things over again, and consider a carb. haha. i just would want something that fits uinder the stock hood, but im sre its possible.
Wow, lots of open element air cleaners in this thread. I used to run an open element but I upgraded to a spectre cold air intake. Don't have pics right now but I'll try to get em soon. CAI's make a noticable difference...
I want these pulleys sooo bad, but i could never find them with power steering, does anyone know if they exist? millerspeed supposedly has them but their website has been down for like a year. props though, definatley looks cool..
Here is mine. Just a basic setup. I have not taken any pictures in a while. I need to snap some more. Matt i wanna check that car out sometime. I talked to you in orielys a while back. Mine is across the street at c&g
Hood 500$.......383 around 4000dollars,driving her to work for the first time........priceless
