Going to try and start a build thread. I will try and keep updated. Back story, car was had a 406 Tpi, t56, 150 shot, and a 10 bolt. Tore it apart about five years ago unhappy with the combo. Car got back burnered while I was building my shop. Took some steps this summer to finish it. Setup will be following
-5.3 ls with ls6 heads, katec ls6 torque cam, arp hardware
-4l80 built with rossler trans brake and custom ati converter
-VS racing billet 80mm turbo, eBay air to water, chiseled water tank
-Quick performance 9 inch with a spool and 3.55 gear.

I am running an aei motor plate and mid plate if any one is curious on the brand. Would highly recommend if going this direction.

 

Got the rack mounted and rear suspension fab work done. Break down of parts
Rear
-Quick performance 9 inch
-Trz anti roll bar
-Moddified Bmr torque arm
-Founders rear coil overs with 110lbs springs
-Control arms are mine built with rod ends

Front
-Lakewood struts
-Coil over
-Founders strut mounts
-PA racing k member

 

Motor is a 5.3 with ls6 heads and cam. This is what will be motivating it.

 

The next big step was sending it to someone who is a much better welder and fabricator then I am. So enjoy the pics

Last ones of me picking it up to bring home. Have more fab work to do before I blow it apart to paint and reassemble.

 

If anyone has questions feel free to ask

 

Very nicely done sir. Especially like the exhaust. I am thinking of mergine my 2 turbos into a 4" all the way back. But uncertain at the moment.

 

I wanted full exhaust and just couldn’t settle on fender dump. For my set up the 4 inch was difficult. Tony the person fabricating it said dual 3 might have been easier. All in all I am happy how it turned out.

 

When I was running a single 76mm turbo I had a 3 inch pipe that came out and down under the car where the converter should have been. I put together a 4 " setup from there and it wasn't that bad to do. Wich I kept that setup too haha

 

I have my old 4 inch that has dual tail pipes and muflex muffler that I could sell you if your interested.

 

Looks great
