Sorry for the wait....

 

 

:lala:

 

very nice. whats the rest of your setup. trans,rearend??

 

ooohhhh I want one

 

The rear is a non posi stock unit with 3.23 gears for now. The tranny is a 700R4 Raptor. http://www.transmissioncenter.net/pe...m#700%20Raptor

 

Hey! Another thirdgen owner from ND. Cool. I get out to Minot once in a while. I live 120 miles northeast of there in Cando. That's a sweet Camaro. I had an 85 sport coupe, now own an 86 firebird coupe.

 

looks good

 

NICE!!!! talking about using the "shoe horn" to make it fit!!!

 

Welcome to the club you have a nice time with those hookers? Has it been on the road yet? looks like it`s ready. Anyway 500+ cubes in a street thrid gen:rockon: I like the short V/C`s too

 

very very nice i bet that thing will move now....LOL...

looks like you need to get some new plug wires with 90 degree boots thou to clear the headers .....it loooked like you were hitting the header in the second pic with the plug wires

 

looks like it came from the factory with it.looks great.

and on the wires....a 135 degree boot is what it needs.i run the taylor spiro pro wires and they fit perfect.

 

what pulleys and brackets did you use on it? im lookin at March's Ultra series kit for the big blocks, 2 serp belts. and it will let u run the water, alt, and power steering. looks pretty muhc the same way you have yours set up.

 

I honestly dont know what setup they used on it. I had the work done at a local shop.

 

Infidel!

JK. I assume those are Hooker 2226 headers, yes?

 

have you drove it yet

 

Looks like you're gonna need a cowl hood for that setup.

 

Yes, they are the hooker BB swap headers, and yes, i drove it with open headers back to my house, only a couple miles, but didnt really lay into it much.

 

Onefast85 can you give us some specs on your setup including track times. I have a th400 but was wondering about a glide in a heavy car?

 

i sent it to you in an email.i don't want to take over his thread.

bb f-body's are cool as hell and becoming more popular.i like that.LOL

 

Looks good BBJ.

Yep. Once you've driven one, you'll never go back.

 

man, you guys are really making me want one of these things!

about the motor mounts. can i run my moroso solid mounts?

 

Absolutely. These are a direct fit. They're what I use, but I modified mine (the K-member stands) because my engine has been relocated.

 

is there any down side to running soild motor mounts? would u have to run a soild or polyurathane trans mount to run the soild motor mount?

theres a purple 82 camaro around my area with a 427 bbc and he's running soild mounts and looks like he doesnt have a problem but then again the car is pro street car (back half, tubbed , the works but still running stock from subframes.)

 

tranny mount doesn't matter

down side, the car shakes a little more...but i think that's cool

 

ive read posts before on here about guys snapping either the bellhousing orthe tailshaft on the trans. i think i read it early this yr.

 

I run a stock style rubber trans mount in conjunction with the Moroso solid motor mts. on my car. There is nothing to be gained by using a solid trans mount, but much to be lost.

 

you cannot run a solid tranny mount without running solid motor mounts. the torque from the motor with rubber or poly mounts with a solid tranny mount will break tailshafts and bellhousings. running it the other way around will not be a big deal though. i run a poly tranny mount, although a rubber mount would be fine too (motor is moving whole car instead of just the motor/tranny)

 

okay kool sould soild motor mounts and poly or rubber trans mount and things should be fine? kool something else to add to the list. hey do u guys know if the soild mounts raise up the motor at all , kinda like the polymounts do?

 

a big block and you are peg legging it jeez that gotta suck

 

:yes:

 

i never had a set of rubber mounts in the car before so i couldn't tell you for sure (orginal v6 car) but from what i can tell, it puts it back to stock height like when the rubber mounts where brand new. i have no idea how it would be with a big block. cool thing is, my 350hp 305 knocks my car all over the place when i blip the throttle sitting at a light or something

 

Is there any performance benifits from the stock rubber mounts to solid.

 

it's all solid so the motor mounts don't soak up the movement of the motor. helps reaction time and stuff. probably only helps 60ft times a little. but when your buying it all anyway, go ahead and get the best (in my case)

 

If your car is going on the street with big power like mid-tens or so I would recommend using poly motor mounts, I do 10.4's @129 mph with my poly mounts. You don't need bad vibrations, it gets old quick.

 

Wow! Looks friggin amazing! So... how about some burnout vids?

 

A solid Tranny mount is a no no unless you have a 12 pt cage. The reason behind this-

The stock chassis will twist, even with subframe connectors, and you will snap the bellhousing in half. You can run solid motor mounts, but no real reason to do it unless you are an all out drag car and dont feel like replacing them in 10 years. Solid motor mounts are usually for guys running over 1000 hp so they dont rip out the polyesters ones.

 

Any new info on the car ?

 

Any new info yet?

 

Yes, i finally bolted on my Tourqe Thrust II's! Looks way better! Im gonna try and clean it up a bit now and I will try and get some pics this afternoon.

 

Cool cant wait for the pics. Sorry about the double post, computer was acting up and I didn't know that it posted.

 

Hope this works
