nasty are you running a powerbond 25% underdrive? if so, what belt are you running?

 

I been eyeing those rims lately, how much did it cost you and no spacers just slip on n it fits?

 

sure are! the slp and powerbond are one in the same.
main drive belt
Gates #K060763

a/c belt
Gates #K040378
the rims only come in a backspacing for the 4th gen f bodys so you'd need spacers for them to fit correctly, OR a 4th gen rearend

 

did you use a mig or stick welder?

 

plasma cutter and melted them together

 

wow, talk about creativity...

 

Ell oh Ell.

 

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a set of tfs 215's from a member on tech.. Hoping to break the 500 rwhp mark on motor!

 

That 6 speed should help get it there

 

Yessir! Im hoping for the best and on a side note thoughts of going back auto have occured to me.

 

nasty...rather than going back to auto...just build another car with an auto. then, every morning, you can decide; bangin' gears, or full on drag car..........

haha, maybe put an f13 cam in the auto car

 

Only people that order a f13 are people that dont want to make real power lol. If I did go back auto it would be a 4200-4400 converter in a 4l80e

 

no more red! now i just need to find 4th gen ebony leather front seats..

 

looks great! those 4th gen panels and console look awesome in there.

 

What'd you have to do to get the panels to fit? I've been trying to find some info on those, but no one goes into detail.

 

lookin' good, you can just do what i did in my 67 c10....put a 5 gallon bucket in place until you find the seats you're looking for. pretty sure its legal, haha.

 

did alot of cutting to get them where i wanted them and used screws to hold them in..... hey it works and if you look hard you prob. still cant find the screws.
pretty sure uppon the first mash on it session id fall off my bucket and wreck......... but id still have black leather rear seats

 

I rocked a half cinder block in my car to move it aroun till I put the seats in lol

 

scored a set of tan leather ones local and im gonna have them recovered in black vinal

 

That interior is gonna be real nice once you get those seats recovered.

 

i agree! still contemplating on doing the 4thgen dash console and seats in my trans am.

 

yeah, its came a long way from the stock stuff
i would honestly not recommend anyone that doesnt have the time/temper/skills to do the whole interior swap... BUT the center console is a direct bolt in, the dash isnt that bad once you actually get started, the wiring is kinda a pita and the door panels..... i cant even say what i would like to say about the door panels. you have to remove alot from the actual door to get them to fit, BUT as said it can be done with enough time and patience.

 

I just lust for a cup holder.

 

I don't, wards off people from bringing food/drink in my car.

 

Not a problem for me. I'm usually the only one in my car.

 

4 cupholders in my car, makes it so nice going to a car show with a gatorade in one and 2 bottles of water in the back ones, or sitting in the staging lanes while cooking in the 90 degree heat and drinking one. I'd never go back to a thirdgen console

 

yeah the cupholders are a nice feature im glad to have upgraded to.. went from 0 to 4! lol

 

I have a feeling I'll go to a 4thgen console atleast in my trans am. When he Camaro gets he swap I'll leave it 100% as is on the inside and out.

 

Any pics of your side pillars? Im curious to which you used so I can get mine done soon

 

i plan on using the 4th gen ones where they meet the dash and the stock 3rd gen one and cut them off about half way and fiberglass them together... its an idea in the works, as of right now there stock 3rd gen ones

 

The interior looks WAY better then the red lol. Yeah I'm gonna have to get a 4th gen center console soon, I keep hitting the side of mine when I put in reverse

 

As I thought they were..
and I actually thought of that idea myself however im not sure how close they are to lining up in the middle and what not.. ya know? I think I might give the fourth gen ones a shot but again I haven't checked if they line up where the ttop meets. All a work in progress though!

 

the 4th gen ones line up ok on my hard top... but are like 2 inches from meeting the back of the door where it sits

 

Hey nasty, wondering what size exhaust you are running with this? I am thinking of picking one of these trak paks up while the deals are on. Merry Xmas to me kind of thing. LOL

I also have an option of buying a used 4th Gen setup and from looking at it, thinking this could easily be converted to a 3rd gen setup with a couple of custom floor brackets installed.

Also, I was wondering if you ran into any clearance issues with your Hawks headers and the QT bell?

 

im running a 3 1/2 inch peice over the crossmember. if i had to do it again i would NOT hesitate to buy the trak pak as for the bellhousing.. there is no clearance issue with the qt bellhousing when installing it with the headers already on BUT the bellhousing interfered with me trying to remove my heads because the housing is so much larger than a stock one. ended up removing all of my studs on the passanger side.

 

I'm looking to buy the trac pak aswell, but I'm concerned about losing the ability to run true duals. Is there enough room to fit duals?

 

if you were to put the smallest part of the "X" in the hump in the cross tube then yes it would fir.. might require alittle massaging on the floor pan..

 

Got my ls3 head gakets in, put down some fat mat under my carpet and ordered some 6liter eater front seats... Still waiting for my trickflows, but the wait is worth it.

 

another set of front seats?! i guess for the time being, mine is a little faster than yours...haha.

 

so what's the deal, need an update. i'm waiting on parts to fix a leaky powersteering pump, and its snowing outside....

get the heads on yet?......seats in?

 

Hopefully tooley gets my heads today or tomorrow and the guy I traded seats with wanted to use my boxes to ship my seats in so I went ahead and sent him the 6le seats and hopefully he gets the ta seats ready to ship out today. Havent really dont anything to the car, painted the valve covers couple days ago....since its STILL 72 DEGREES in lower alabama.

 

just rub it in why don't ya?! taunting me with your weather just isn't cool man....

 

ha, im hoping the weather holds off till i get my heads.

 

I am looking at the same. what motor mounts did you buy? any supprise issues. found a great wiring video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tITS_...eature=related

 

i bought the spohn k-member and it comes with the correct frame mounts.. used stock motor mounts off a 02 trans am

 

well still waiting on my 225's to come in... so i stole this L33 from a kid for 150 bucks with a oil pressure issue. he said the screen is stopped up but i believe the sensor is bad, because the sensor has not been replaced and when the kid told me it would loose oil pressure he would keep driving it and it would run fine and randomly it would get oil pressure back. motor has between 23-24k miles on it

 

bought it for a song, you dog. what are your plans for that light weight package?

 

lol

 

atta boy! i'm considering a 5.3 for my el camino...either that or find me a regular cab short box 1/2t to play with.

 

Nice man! Looks like my s10, you gunna post the swap on tech?
