Markolc

Ahem..... C4 rearend?

Markolc

No...not C4 rear end. It's a ladder bar setup, Ford 9", detroit locker, 3.90.

Looks real good, but get rid of the corvette covers. How do you like those nittos?

TunedPort 335

Damn, still sweet though. Got any pics from underneath the car?? Sounds interesting.

I assume you got rid of the torque arm alltogether?

Markolc

That's the best pic I have of the rear. You are right there is no torque arm.

I won't get rid of the fuel rail covers cuz there's too much hideous wiring that would be exposed.

THEGENERAL

what kind of shifter is that your running there i like that alot

Markolc

Hurst Dual Gate 2 shifter.

ljnowell

Where did you get that shifter, and how much? There doesnt seem to be a whole lot of made to fit shifters for our cars. Seems like everyone has the Megashifter.

Markolc

I got it from Jegs or Summit about 3 years ago. Was around $250???but I don't really remember.

It's a pure aesthetic mod, I think the stock shifter works better in a racing application, and the Megashifter works much much better than the stock shifter of course. So I wouldn't recommend it other than an appearance mod.

THEGENERAL

is it hard to shift or something or just not a good shifter in general ??

Markolc

Horrible build quality, many installation issues, no safety lockout (well it's there but I can easily force over it). It's basically like having the stock shifter with no button to press to shift, but it takes a slight bit more effort so overshift is common unless you have the right touch.

Looks badass though.

VERY nice job

Only thing i dont like is the exhuast, other than that i love it. those iroc rims look unbelievable...are they new? and how do u keep brake dust off the front ones? mine get so horribly dirty...

Markolc

The car is kept like new. The wheels are original, and the front tires are oringinal tires as well . I just use zaino, and wipe them down after every drive (it's not a daily commuter).

Regarding the exhaust, with the ladder bars being set up the way it is, it is impossible for a production catback or any modified production cat-back to fit under the car. The muffler location would have to be changed, and the pipe running under the car would be interfearing with the subframe and frame for the ladder bars. The exhaust consists of Hooker Long Tube headers, custom Y pipe, custom interchangeable cat/test pite, custom Y pipe, 2 Borla C4 mufflers.

Personally, I like the look of the exhaust, it's certainly different appearing when seen in person than the pictures do it justice, and it's also pretty much the only way it can be ran.

Just out of curiosity, why no IAT? Also, how 'bout some more pics of the engine?

wm_sorg

Nice looking car. Props for the over clean stock look and clean conversion.

Tobias05

thats one sharp iroc.

I may have overlooked it, but what does it run in the 1/4?

Markolc

The IAT is on the airbox, I chose not to use the one on the rubber boot.

David Petersen

Very nice ride!! Good job on the engine swap looks good!!
Is the roll bar custom or a kit? If a kit who makes it?

Markolc

Custom roll bar. A place in deer park long island did it for me some many years ago.

so, what's it run? with all that cage, i would guess low 10's, or is it more of an autox deal?

Markolc

It's best time was 9.47 on the previous motor. Since then it's been toned down a lot to make it streetable, but I have not yet ran it. High 11s is my best guess, at least that's what the G-tech said one night.
