I would like to hear more about your RamJet 430... did you order the ramjet engine with wiring harness and computer or are you trying to use the TPI computer...

My '68 Datsun Truck

My two '84 TAs

 

Yes, I have 2 Formulas now. My white one is an 88 and the other is an 89.

I bought the 89 back in July. I saw it for sale in Tuttle OK and it was yellow, L98, WS6, etc, etc. The car was the guy's daily driver. The motor started knocking and he parked it. Full interior(Black) complete motor, tranny, rear end, etc. Picked it up for $1000 cash.

Pulled motor and sold it, had car stripped and painted Radar Blue, put on ASCD Ram Air hood and 91/92 Formula/TA wing.

Bought Ram Jet 350 crate motor/ Pulled heads and cam out/ bought fastburns and LT4 hot cam to go back in. (On engine stand right now, but its going in shortly.)

The car is already set up for T56 so Im pullin the T56 out of the 88 and putting it in the 89(Banshee).

Hopefully Ill have it running soon, Im still in school (oklahoma state) so cash is scarce these days, so it may take a little while.

Hopefully within a month or two.

I dont know what I am going to do with it. Im thinking about pulling the motor and tranny out and rolling the car off of a very tall cliff.

Seriously, there are a couple of guys here in town that are wanting to buy the rolling chassis for like $2000. That would be cool, cause I could rebuild the motor thats in it. It already has some TRW forged pistons in it with some summit stage 2 rods and SLP cam.

Or, I could sell it with motor and tranny, and it could be somebody's 13 second daily driver. Im really am not sure, but I am gonna need to sell it here in a few months because I wont have room for it and I cant pay insurance on both cars, so its gotta go.

Yah i know how the insurance thing goes...

right now i have the TTop car and my truck insured...

but i dont pay it... my mom does... it is like $300 every 6 months for both...

well if you wanna help out a fellow thirdgenner... i might be looking for a rolling chasis around june... but i will only have like $1000 to get one... so yours is probly gonna be out of the question...

i am kinda wanting an 85-90 bird... so that the GFX i have will not make it look wierd for the year...

i have the complete GFX from an 86 TA ... i even have the fenders...

i will have a builtup LG4 with TPI and 5spd to put into a car...

i am hoping to stumble onto a 300-500 rolling firebird chasis for this project... preferably an 82-84 firebird SE...

well i guess thats it for now...

good luck with the ramjet... and i hope to see it at the Gathering...

later,
Chris
