Well a long story short Ive been without a 3rdgen for 4 to 5 years now as Ive gone for 3 shells. Everytime they get better till I found the last one that is mint and next to zero rust. LOL hard thing to find up here in Canada for sure. Also have gone thru a few motor ideas in that time till a friend parted out his 87 iroc so I ended up buyin half his car mostly for the motor. So its taken me the last 6 to 8 months to get it in the car and now its running. I have to thank my friends for all their help and my wife for putting up with all the time spent on it.

Heres a short video I did on the first start up. Hope you guys like it. I still got quite a few things to finish up to make it driveable.

congrats! Can't wait to see some vids of it running down the track!

 

Sounds angry!!

 

Congrats bro

 

Thanks guys it means alot as its my first video LOL yeah im sad I just got on youtube as its been around forever. Im just stoked that I finally get the car back this year. I would have done a build thread but I have one goin on a local site already. If anyones interested I can post it up

 

Sounds awesome!! How much power you looking at getting?

 

She sounds pretty mean!!!

Put some slicks and skinnies on there with 7000 RPM clutch dumps and lets see some wheelies!!!!! muauauahahahaha

I keep trying to get someone to do it

 

Id like to get between 470 and 500hp eventually as thats fine for a street car

 

I cant believe how mean it is man. It knocked 2 dishes off the wall in the kitchen LOL. I got a set of ET Streets read to go on a set of GTA's I got here. LOL ill do the 7000RPM dump for the hell of it and we will see that part of the car gives out first Ill be bored when its done so it will be time to break stuff

 

Can't wait to hear that thing tuned! Sounds like it's gonna have enough power to please ;D

 

Post up the build thread!!! Sounds good!j

J.

 

Post it up... What all do you have on your 8.8? I want to do an 8.8 swap eventually with some Ls1 rear brakes...

 

of course we wanna see the build. Nice job and sounds great.

 

She looks and sounds awesome!
Two things though:

1. That steering wheel cover has GOT TO GO hahaha

2. Turbo cam but no turbo?

 

Ah man, you gotta know that thing's vintage. Probably been with the car since it was new.
On second thought, yeah, it's gotta go.

 

He beat me to. That engine look very beastly dude. Incredibly clean. What rims do you have for this bad boy?

 

Heres the build thread that started in 2007 with my 85. The last few pages are with this set up in my 89

 

Thats exeactly what mine will be when its done as a member on here is building mine when he gets a chance. Will be

4.10 gears
LS1 rear brakes
31 spline axels
31 spline posi
relocation brakets
girdle

Will be able to hold up to what I thro at it for sure

 

Oh that wheel is going for sure as its a 13inch and its too small and looks like ***. It was free so I cant complain too much. Still serching for a wheel I like tho

Yeah the motor was gonna be goin in a friends camaro that was gonna be turbo set up. He decided to buy a vette and sell off everything he had so i got the motor as it was. The pan is already set up and all i would need to do is get a turbo set up and im good to go. Maybe in the future but for now why not run it. See what I can get out of it and have fun as Ive been without this car for 4+ years now and all I want is to enjoy it finally

 

Thats a good question as Im a die hard GTA rim guy. I dont care what anyone says Im sold on them or a set of ronals. I want to keep it stck looking as well as theres too much crap that goes on up here. The less it sticks out the better. It will already be uber loud when I put the loudmouth system on. Im gonna make a set of custom caps as well that say "Iroc"on them. Will be using blank GTA new caps and new iroc center caps which my gonna cut to size and put them in

 

That is exactly what I put in mine, made by Cam (I assume that's who's doing yours too), mine has the 9" axle tubes and I went with the Cobra part number for the ford racing trac-lok posi. It was the same price as the standar posi unit but has carbon fiber clutches so it only makes sense to go with it instead of the standard peice I dont have a girdle yet but I will get one later this year!

 

Like 6SIX6 mentioned before, he bought the engine from someone else built exactly the way it is.

The motor is fully forged and built for boost and came with the TU2 cam. This motor should have NO problem making 10XX RWHP with a turbo, but without it, it should still push out over 4XX+ RWHP, even with that cam.

A good deal is a good deal, right?

 

Thanks for the info and yeah Cam is building mine and it helps he 20min away from me LOL. I got a standard posi right now and looks like it will do the job for the time being as I got to cut down on spending $$$$ on it for now as I want to drop some coin into fixing some stuff around the house first. I can alwas upgrade the posi later on down the road

 

Oh man was it ever a good deal as you where there ( Camera Man ) when it was started for the first time. Too bad Jay Rich didnt have the turbo stuff for it or I would have snagged that as well. Oh well i think we can handle that down the road eventually. We can do turbo wars man LOL your LT1 and my LS1. We would own sauga for sure LOL
