looking for advice.. LT1 adding goodies!
I'm looking for some advice, trying to get the most out of what I have. I'll list what I have, what I think I want.. Looking to see if I'm headed in the right direction or maybe there are some things I should be doing/getting.. .. my car is an '89 TA
Thanks
-'96 LT1 running OBD1 ..in and running but will freshen it up before doing any of this.
-1.6:1 crane roller rockers .. also been installed for a few years now. guessing there are 25-30K miles on them.
-Hedman shorty hedders.. 1-5/8" d-port's. -prob look at replacing these with something coated.
-2.75" cat back, stock (modified for hedders) Y pipe.. Flowmaster 40series (look to replace this as well)
-T-56 w/ stock clutch
-New 3.73 to replace noisy old one .. kit, ring pinion, seals bearings etc to freshen up stock rear
-NIB Non-Adj rear lower control arms, non-adj panhard bar, wonderbar..
-Mega Squirt to run all this stuff. going to do an Opti delete using Ford EDIS
-NIB TrickFlow GenX 185 Heads -assembled version
-NIB ARP Headbolts
-Gently used 58mm BBK TB
Thinking of LT4 Hotcam.. not looking for anything huge though.
Thinking of new pushrods.. not sure about lifters?
Prolly getting a nice diff cover since I can't build a motor and dish out for a 9"/12bolt.. not a track car.
Thinking single 3" exhaust. Can't have it hanging any lower than it is as our roads aren't the greatest around here.
