im trying to get rid of he 882's for some iron l98 heads, but what I was thinking was why not try and get the 882's to flow well. three options are open
1) 2 bolt main, 882 heads, lt1 intake tpi harness
2) 2 bolt main iron l98 heads lt1 intake harness
3) buy 4th gen donor and swap over lt1 and t56
but seeing how some ppl say 882s are good and other say no its confusing.

Bad thing about 882s, 083, or any other stock head is by the time you spend the money on machine work and prep, you could have bought some new vortecs or other aftermarket heads.

Unless you can find a good deal on some that someone else spent the money on.

Nice ride! Keep the hood black!

DiabolicalRS

yea your right, I was just gonna have the 083 matched to a cam when I choose one.

thanks ENVOYIROCZ I plan on it but with a different hood

weswisehart

your car is looking good man. what ever happened to the other hood? i havent even been able to touch my camaro.

DiabolicalRS

Thanks man, that other good flew off my car, where I'm stationed at has a lot of bumps. I gave that hood to white good 88 he's been doing body work for thirty years so he wanted it. Haven't been able to even think bout messing with the rs cause of the holidays and now I'm in sf training for 21 days so hopefully I save some cash. I've gota 350 block that once my tax money hits, it's goin to the machine shop so we shall see how things go.

DiabolicalRS

not an update, I did however race another third gen lol beat him but it was fun and also raced a box chevy caprice with a 350 in it beat him by three quarters of a car. I have some pics that took I need to upload on pb. decided im not gonna use my tax money on the engine either ill spend it elsewhere like rebuilding the front suspension and all new bushings and gonna look at lowering it.

DiabolicalRS

finally pics of nothing lol, I bought some power stop performance rotors today gonna buy brake hoses and thinking of maybe new calipers.

DiabolicalRS

rockauto rotors today ill go get braded brake lines if I can find em and pads and wheel bearings.

DiabolicalRS

well been a min had to replace my rear end on my fourth gen, but I did buy today the ls1 dual fans and a ls drive shaft. I have a to upload the pics to photobucket so tomorrow they'll be up.

DiabolicalRS

I always wanted an orange car!

Those LS fans....how does the shape of those fit the 3rd gen. radiator? Are major mods needed?

DiabolicalRS

from what I just read, no all I have to do is drill two holes on the shroud and rad support, other then that its simple. but my car never ever came with a/c, so I don't have to cut off some condenser tabs. Ill grab the thread I just read.

well putting the fans were easy as hell, but im not much of an wiring guru so that part took most of my day yesterday. I ended up plugging the harness up to one and made a manual switch for the other, I didn't have to cut anything yet besides my fan shroud. right now I have two metal straps up top holding them down and then a zip tie on the buttom. it just rained today bad or else id make some holes to boolt this down along with my fan shroud.

What kind of. Headlights are those? They look really nice, like a contemporary OE upgrade without screaming aftermarket.

Makes that front end look younger I think...

DiabolicalRS

let me get back with you on that, it was a guy on ebay i think..
but i got some rims and tires today, 160 miles on the tires and a fresh coat of powdercoated basic model c5 rims.



And... lol i ran at the local 1/4 mile today and first run ever down the track with the car and the cars first time ever we managed to get a 15.6
was supposed to race my friend in his 85 Z but he decided to wreck his car and his best time before he fixed his tranny was a 16.5, so when his car gets back on the road we will race.
