Just curious who else was in the process of a winter project on their cars?


This forum needs a "Lounge" type of sub forum - didnt really know where to post this....

 

I am finishing my 454 install and when it warms up a little I will be rebuilding the trans in the z

 

how low does the car sit in the front with that much motor in it?

 

deleting my ac, and putting in ac delete box, installing new injectors, and finally putting in my overhead console.....so far I haven't got much done lol I've been slacking

 

It sits three inches higher than stock I rebuilt the front end and install high lift springs. Not to worried about the cornering.

 

New paint and oem notchback

Not really. A lounge forum was tried a few years ago, and was a disaster. The racing forum usually has a "winter project" thread, as people tend to do maintenance/upgrades during the winter in prep for the next season. As long as the responses here are tech related, this is fine.

Personally, the only thing I had planned, other than the usual fluid changes and general check-over, is to remove the headers from the LS1/4L60E Berlinetta and send them off for ceramic coating. I won a free coating job from the NHRA "Be a Member/Be a Winner" drawing from the 2011 season.

That project hasn't gotten started yet because my son has his 2001 S10 Blazer with iron block 5.7 LS swap in the garage for rear end upgrades (from stock centrifical posi to Eaton, 3.42 gears to 4.11, and traction bars), intake change from LS1 to BBK (it has an unknown but pretty lumpity cam, and the LS1 intake was holding back peak power), and replacement of the valve stem seals (it was using quite a bit of oil, even though a fresh build, and there was oil sitting on top of the intake valves when he pulled the LS1 intake). His project has hit several snags, like parts not showing up when they are supposed to, so until we get that finished up, mine can't start.

 

Almost a total rebuild of the Camaro I (finally) bought in July. Totally re-did the entire entire including a custom build sub box and a custom T-Top holder in the back. In the process of pulling the stock 305 TPI and replacing with a 383 with the HSR setup. Engine is coming out Saturday, new one going in...once I get everything I need for it

 

Mine is down for lt4 hotcam and porting heads. Also bought a steering wheel and some founders lca aphb and lca relocation brackets.
Still need shocks springs and a torque arm. Thinking about the panhard relocation kit. can't wait till spring
