Beautiful car i like the blk rims too. All looks good make sure to keep us updated!

 

Great to see some engine swaps taking place on this board, i guess it's about that time when our engines are going downhill.......

What exterior mods do you have planned for the car?

 

well i WAS going to finish the car off with 92gfx (i already have the front nose and lower spoiler) and put in some 81 fender vents (not the same ones you have) and a lil custom thing im doin to the front spoiler , and i still have to put on my z28 highrise.. it should all match up nicely with my ss hood, and i was planning on painting it a very bright color lol.. ill leave it at that.. but anyhow my engine just took a dive last week so i gotta work on drivetrain before appearence considering its my everyday driver.. sad thing is im gonna have to granny it for a while till i can either upgrade my t5 or ****** a t56.. well see how things go.

 

Love the Rims

 

woots

 

Just $.02, but leave the A/C in there. You will be glad you did come summer heat or a car show when someone asks why you hacked it out.

 

very nice man good to see someone putting an effort into there car and btw nice rims

 

Looks nice just the way it is. Except black headlight pockets would look great. Headlight pockets people. Don't forget the headlight pockets. (if it's a Z28 or IROC-Z of course)

 

looks good what ya doing with the old engine and wiring since you are putting a carb in it.

 

ill be trading my 305 block for a 350 block, and im selling my TPI unit and everything else.. if your interested pm me.

 

A/C delete in Florida?? You're nuts!

Not a fan of carbs, but you can't really argue with 400hp. Looks good.

 

ive been driving in florida literally all my life so its nothign out of the ordinar, im quite use to it.. i cannot stand having my windows up.. and my windows are 15% so it stays pretty cool inside.. its not as bad as you think.

 

heres a little teaser pic on what my irocs going to look like when im finished.

Thanks alot to devianb for takin the time to draw it up, thanks alot bro

 

.

 

Very nice man. Good luck with everything! Love the concept drawing too, even the color. What are those, the BC Tuned wheels? They look good in that finish! later

 

my a/c delete didnt look so bad did it


nice car Wootah, good luck with the engine swap.

 

Done right it looks good, but it is pretty rare that someone actually goes through all the trouble and does it right. That, and it still sucks on the 90-100* days.

 

my A/C delete looks factory.....in fact you can see pics on my cardomain site in the engine shots.....looks great to me....and in IL it's all the same in summer, this is a friday night cruiser/saturday strip car.

 

well i didnt have ac when i bought the car, and 5months after i bought it i had the ac recharged in it.. and i NEVER used it.. even on the hottest days i just never turned it on.. for one i HATe the power loss when ac is on.. so id rather be at full potential minus the added little comfort then sacrafice hp for ac

 

Power loss? That's all in your head. The A/C clutch cuts out when WOT is detected.

 

no im talkin about general idleing and everyday driving.. the way my car ran when ac turned on wasnt the best.. and the whole reason is to mainly get rid of the clutter, im tired of it my next car will stay fuel injected with all the options, but this one i want specifically to be mine and eventually make it a weekend driver only when i get a new project.
