wow sweet swap. should be sick when its all wrapped up

 

Very nice swap! Do you have any othe pics of the coils? Looks very clean. Also, did you say you got that motor for $4k! Where?

 

ha ha yes i did get the motor for 4k, I actually bought it from a guy who won the motor. A little risky since I didn't know the guy, but you can tell this motor has never been fired still had all the factory gm tape and oil with the blank pan. I won't be able to put some pics up until the 16th but i will see if my dad can shoot some pics for me earlier.

 

Makes sense now. I would say you got a heck of a deal on that.

 

Here is a picture with the coils. I am just finishing up making the wires. Monday the car goes to the exhaust shop in the morning, then off to tuning in LA. I actually bought the double hump hawks 4l60 crossmember and modifying it to fit a 700r4 trans. Here is a more current picture with the coils mounted and connected.

 

All done underneath the hood, except radiator blew up!

 

why does white always look so good?

 

Looks awesome! What accessories are you running? I've read through the thread but just forget.

 

I am running f body accessories.

 

Yes i cut both sides to make sure it was centered. With my last set up i had long tubes but it was just terrible ground clearance always bottoming out. Plus I needed to tuck up two high flow cats up there too. I have only two pic's from the tow truck taking it to the dyno shop. It really doesnt do justice though. by the way my car is lowered 1 1/2 inches.

 

Time to get a hawks trans x-member. Why not put the cats after the headers?

 

DAmn that looks way too low! You'll scrape everything

 

This really makes me nervous seeing as I am lowering mine 2" .. what the hell was i thinking!??!?

 

They angle i took the picture makes it appear lower than it is. I am using the hawks crossmember it's modified to fit a 700r4 transmission. I tried to put the cats closer to the headers, there just wasn't enough room. My exhaust, I doubt it will hardly scrape compared to my last setup. I have stiff suspension too.

 

You wouldnt happen to know the spring rates would you? And I keep hearing about this hawks crossmember.. is it good? I cannot seem to find it on there website.

Awesome build as well!

 

I am running hotchkis springs, with agx shocks set at the firmest setting. there is not a 700r4 crossmember made by hawks yet. Although they did tell me they are currently working on one into production. My crossmember was a 4l60 cut and modified to fit a 700r4 trans.
