a funny guy

 

Worth a shot.

 

Almost finished porting the Stealth Ram. I'll have it finished up tomorrow. Here's a pic.

 

Ok, send it to me for a quality inspection lol

 

Right after I receive that intake your donating to me i'll send this one out.

 

Dammit I was so close

 

here is the pic of mine i told you i would post cut 1.5 coils mine SHOULD be lighter.
No a/c equiptment at all, no crash supports front or rear, no rear seats no accesories only alternator mounted down low and thats it you may wanna do only 1 coil

 

I'm not seeing a picture.

 

Nice build so far!! I love the color of that iroc and the story of saving it from a jy. Cant beat that!

As for your front springs...are you sure you clocked them correctly or that they were clocked correctly before you bought it? That would cause the issue your seeing there. If those are stock iroc springs there is def something wrong.

 

computer didnt wanna work for some reason its up now tho lol

 

Still has the stock springs on it. Never been removed. It didn't have this stance with the 305 and a set of 90-92 wheels that I was using temporarily.

 

Almost there! Need some vacuum fittings for the plenum and a upper radiator hose.

 

Sweeeeett

 

It will need a good cleaning as well. Got my greasy paw prints all over. lol

 

Very nice! That is going to be one awesome IROC when it's done!

 

It will still need paint, but I want to enjoy it for spring and summer before I tear it back apart for paint.

 

Well, I tried to fire the car yesterday and I have some major wiring issues. After cranking for a
couple seconds the negative battery cable started smoking and a brake line welded itself to the header. I also have no power to the ecm. I believe both are being caused by poor grounds. I will redo them and see. I just hope I didn't burn anything up.

 

That's a great way to ruin your day

 

Your telling me! I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I thought after a 10 month engine swap I'd be able to turn the key and everything would go perfect with no issues. Ha! Lol.

 

Well if it makes you feel any better I hammered that 2011 vert into the ground last night

 

Nice! Did you box those wheels up for me yet?

 

I'm waiting for the funds to clear first

 

33K. Don't know where to start negotiating!

 

Okay, so I ran my ground cables again. No more smoking or welding. The car cranks much better but I still have no power to the fuel pump. Also when I jumper the fuel pump and try starting it, it backfires fires through the headers but won't start. So more work to do. Any advice on the fuel pump or how to trouble shoot the ecm would be appreciated.

 

Do you even get a 2 second prime ?

 

No. Won't run without a jumper.

 

You might try your other cars ecm and memcal to narrow it down. If you put a volt meter or test light on the dark green/ white wire on the relay or a1 of the ecm turn the key on and you will have power for 2 seconds. The relay ground is tied into the grounds behind your passenger side cylinder head. The orange wire to the relay will be hot all the time and goes to the under hood fuse. Bye jumpering to you mean jumping the oil pressure switch ?
The orange to gray or do you mean applying power to g of the aldl ?

 

Applying power to g on the aldl.

 

Finally got my fuel pump figured out. Reset my timing, then blew my starter to pieces!

 

The man rescued a straight decent looking IROC from the crusher.. I commend him for doing so. Stone

 

Thanks for that.

 

Progress has slowed again. When I realized the car wasn't going to be ready for Ocean city I decided to tackle a few things on the convertible and take it instead. I'll wrap the 89 up when I return from vacation.

 

I've got to get the idle set but she finally fired!

 

about time slacker, working on mopars lol. Sounds healthy

 

Nice job! She's gettin' tharrr

 

Yeah, I know. You know how it goes. I got burned out and wanted to play with something new. I've been been in love with the SRT 4 lately and put off for 3 months what only took 3 hours to finish today.

 

Thanks man. It's come along way from way I found it in the junkyard but still has a long way to go. Building an engine and getting it swapped was my biggest obstacle and that one is behind me.

 

Yeah, she sounds pretty mean. I noticed my tach floating, I wasn't twisting my new engine 5 grand on the first startup. lol

 

Got it idling on it's own but it's surging. Don't mind the smoke in the vid. The p.o. must have painted those SLP headers with regular paint because it's bubbling and burning off.

 

Played with the timing a little more and it's not surging so much. Had to buy a new battery charger. Advance had a 200 amp Schumacher for $124.99. Found a promo code for $50 off when you spend $125. I threw a $2 roll of shop towels in my cart to make it $127 and got it for $82 including tax.

 

A little better. Idling a little high now but getting there.

 

for a junk yard car it looks great from what i have seen of the body i would fix the chin spoiler and call it done it looks great. motor looks great also your doing a great job.

 

Thanks. It has some clear coat peel in a few areas so I'm just going to spray the whole car. The interior needs the most work though.

 

Read your entire thread and wanted to say you've done a great job thus far, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more.

 

Thanks. I've been preoccupied with my SRT4 lately but it just rolled out of the garage today after a complete engine swap. So maybe i'll have some time to get back on the IROC.

 

Too much srt time...winter is comin soon man...roast the tires while u can

 

I'm taking the SRT4 to Ocean City next May. Gotta make sure it's right so I can take out those coyote junkstangs. Lol
