Nice build! I agree, once the motor is done paint the headlight buckets black and put the stock stripes back on!

 

Thats one sexy looking engine!

 

Thx a lot guys !!!

I'm not sure yet about the bucket.. I have another idea

But I'm thinking about the stripes....


So guys the engine is fnially running :

Here's the video !

Here's the cost :

(I'm in Quebec/CA)

Complete running 350 + .30 4 bolts 1987 block = 300
Vortec 906 Head + cut + stock stud removal = 450
Edelbrock RPM Air gap = 360
Holley 750CFM modified (Used) = 300

Moroso High volume oil pump = 100
Moroso 3/4 Strainer for Moroso Oil pan = 60
Holley Red fuel pump + hose + fitting = 180

Count that is no labor... I've done all by myself.

I also buy a Goodwork 4'' Steel cowl hood to clear the air filter and I also repainted
the entire engine bay, all bolts, brackets, etc..

I've throw approx 7K on the engine bay this winter.... and I think it worth 10 000$ if I had done all the work by others.

 

here's a video of it idling.

Windows Dick:

 

Awesome work brother! I will be following your project! You said you are running Vortec heads? Off of which year engine and did have to do anything special to make them work?

 

Nothing special. Ask for Vortec application when you want something on it.

Thx for the great comment I really appreciate it mate


I did the first run today.... we had problem with the goddamn **** fuel pump.. we rollback to the old Mecanic pump witch pump 7.5Lbs

Picture of my car ready !

 

OHHHHHHHHHH



LA !





Engine is running fine now.... fine tune on the way

 

i love you canadians taste, in modding and style.

 

are you going to dyno the motor. BTW car looks great.

 

No at this moment.. I leave in far small city.. dynos are inaccessible :S

Btw I just receive part for camera.... new picS

Goddamn dirty

 

Why there is no one commenting my car?

 

Love the rear window "art" LOL

 

ok I'm in, keep it coming!

 

Looks great!

 

Looks like the BEER talking! LOL

 

Cheap chrome timing conver + cheap gasket =

 

The car was very dirty (oil on paint almost all over the car) So I decided to clean it at the garage lol. No choice. The car is getting finalized this week.

 

 

That looks great, are you going to paint the hood?

 

Nice work all around!! I would definitely paint the headlight buckets black and put a pinstripe just above the ground effects. Nice looking engine too! You do nice work!!

 

car is beautiful great job!

 

As soon as I can get the car tuned



I will not paint the light bucket blanc at the moment ;S


Thx a lot

 

rod knock

 

oh no. time to go bigger and bader

 

not sure.

 

You have done a real nice job!!

Pick-up tube fall off the oil pump??

 

hope you get it all sorted out and back on the road soon.

 

Thx



The car was at a garage to fix the goddamn timing chain cover.

They test run it (was the first time the car was almost ready) and the driver didn't check the oil pressure.

Soooooo they blew it lol

And they don't want to fix it ... So I change for another garage.

They will dissasemble the engine completly monday.

 

Hazaa, its been 2 years since I've been able to work on my car now because of school. And it will likely be another 2 or 3 before I get to legitimately do anything. so, to fill the void in my soul I go searching for other peoples builds to follow and yours hit the spot. great work man.

 

Thx a lot


Sorry for the late update. I got the car running for the rest of the summer. I put a 200$ engine on the hole and drive it like that until I got my 383Crate.

When I got the engine almost cleaned.





Fast painting lol



Just making it cleaner

 

The shitty engine is in the car





First startup ever lol ( the engine was stored 4 yeas) We did 4 oil change the same day...

Final state :

The red on is my friend car ... this is the original paint, the car only had 17000KM when he buy it without mecanic




I had to put a shitty engine because of my new house :

 

Damn nice car, can't wait til I can work on mine (Mines been sitting at my parents house little over an year, I will kill myself waiting after 2 years). Where you get that coolant reservior? I had to buy another one, but it crack at the bottom just like my old one.

 

It's just the stock one, I painted it with trim black paint.

 

2012 updates!



G0t a son



Rad on his way




Insert repainted



new blinkers





I painte the mecanism cover black because it was used



Done

 

Goddamn rain...


I'm almost done with the cleaning















Mags

 

Rad done.

 

What headers did you use? Did you need a Y pipe?

 

Looks great! I bought the same bumper lights and marker lights for my 92 z28.

 

Looks awesome! Keep us updated!

BTW, the stripes above the ground effects, are they like a "sticker" or are they a type of molding or something?

 

1o80b I did not know you had blown the original motor. Sorry to hear, but at least she is running & looks good!

 

Car looks good! Why did you choose such a big *** hood? And any plans for new wheels?

 

Question, how you install electric dual fans by replacing the car's orginal manual fan (engine)? Just curious also if I would to get an old dual fans will it sustain to cool my zz4 motor (350 v8)?

 

Damn nice build, very sweet car.

 

Yes wheels are decided :


But on 18'' and I will drop the car 1'' more.

It will look like that (He's on 20'', and I dropped the car by psp):


For the hood I was affraid 2'' cowl doesn't clear the air cleaner, so I buyed 4'' Goodmark cowl lol!

Change the pulley and I put the fan on the ignotion, they are always on, I need to chage that next year.. ( I don,t have much time).














Good news guys, the car is on the paint shop, hood and front lip will be painted white

 

Post pics when your done!!!

 

this is GREAT

 

Quebec!! Sorry, I was trying to place the accent and I was thinking Kasikstan! Seriously though, great job!
