Re: Update on car
Are you really running it for pinks? Planning on nitrous? What times do you plan on it running?

Re: Update on car
Dont know about the bottle yet & havent got a clue on what she will run. but shes a 355 with LT1 crank & rods, AFR heads (dont remember what they are right off the top of my head) a Computer friendly, lingenfelter cam, plus the hSR.
To go along with that I have a Megasquirt computer system that I am shoving in the car.

Re: Update on car
Tammy,
Is that a March power-steering bracket? I was looking at that, or the summit branded branded correct-align bracket. How is the fitment on it, without the attachment to the cyl. head?

Re: Update on car
while putting the engine in the car, we went looking for the bolts for the engine mounts (engine mounts (block) to the Engine Mounts (frame)) couldnt find them so we went out today & found some (local hardware store Grade 8 bolts lol) but we forgot washers that would fit lol.
So we are another day with out the engine being off the cherry picker.
SO When taking engine apart & rebuilding it MAKE SURE ALL BOLTS ARE IN SEALED CONTANORS until you need them lol.

Re: Update on car
well the cars in the shop, it arrived just shortly before 7pm tonight, & they were waiting for me. (under a mustang), they said it would most likely take about 24 hrs (of work) to get the car running & they will ship me pics as things get going. So maybe next week? maybe? I am not holding my breath for that one.
but its a good thing, shes in good hands. even though they drive & work on mustangs.

Re: Update on car
they are working on the new computer system, as we speak now, they are having some issues with it, but other then that its going ok.
lots of emails & phone calls going back between us, so lots of talk. which is GOOD.

Re: Update on car
went to the shop today & they had almost all the wireing done. & were waiting for the tranny coolant lines (which I took over there) Plus a few other things.,
I got to go back over there tomorrow because we didnt have the dpi stick for the tranny with the car (Dumb me)
They do have the new computer in stalled & It sounds like its going to work with the system.
so we should hear her run sometime early next week.
& have her home by late next week as well.

Re: Update on car
maybe someone else is replacing their car with someone elses, so I am going to call them & find out.
If so I will call my brother in law to see if he cant get his hands on that 10 Sec camaro that is in Yelm thats for sale, It might sell there at the track.

Re: Update on car

Well I guess they will call up the next alternate....... Bummer I was looking forward to as many thirdgens as possible!

Re: Update on car
My husband called the shop today asking why the oil coolant line adapter was behind my driver side seat (the only seat in the car currently) when it arrived at the shop installed in the engine.
the guy who supposely worked on the car said it was hitting the something, D(D is my husband) called BS on that.
Then asked why they told us that the MSD Dist, we had didnt work with the computer again. Of course they gave him a run around on that as well. D told them straight out that while we were down in reno this last week, we stopped & Talked to MSD (we had one in the car installed) about it & they called BS as well.
so I sat down & I filled a BBB report on the place.

Re: Update on car
Cow, I, and I assume most of the followers of this thread, would like to hear why the shop couldnt get your car running.
Your set up isnt wild, hell my 87 has larger AFR heads, larger headers etc and is controlled by the factory GM computer. Your set up should be easily have handled late 80's GM technology. If you want to get it running, send your build specific data to Ed Wright. He can burn a chip for you that is plug and play. SBC with a HSR and basic hardware should not be a problem for a reputable shop to tune.
Or, like I have mentioned before, try the Carb Connection in Totem Lake ( Kirkland). They have the knowledge to tune anything.
I was looking forward to seeing a 3rd gen get into the main event. Hope the CC gets one in.
