My car over the last 4 1/2 years

[Matts94Z28]

Well I bought this car in November of 2005 from a guy in Summerville... it had 90k miles on it along with a "built transmission" and a fresh 355 w/ new GM heads on it. His daughter had been driving it for a few years and ended up over heating, which led to the rebuild.

I drove the car for a year or so before I started to tear into it, even though it was my DD. I figured I would share some pictures that I have collected over the last few years....

Here is the car when I first bought it

How about that built transmission? It sure didn't last.

One day at work I decided I wanted to repaint the roof of the car... well that led to a bit more as you can see.

did you build the engine in your kitchen?

[Matts94Z28]

As you can see, I sold the race car hood and got something more practical.

For those of you who don't know about my motor set up, It's a forged 12.8:1 cam only motor with bone stock heads on it. I put the motor together to take 200+ worth of gas. It's also got a 4L60E built by MonteC and a 3800ish converter from Cameron at TCS.

I don't think I could have come this far without the help of those involved over the past few years... I know it's not much, but it keeps me busy and should be pretty nasty down the road.

I have to get the rear end sorted out and then I might add some heads by the end of the year.

[Matts94Z28]

Yes I did, it was the cleanest place I could think of! :bigthumb:

Nice to see the history of your car Matt. It has came a long way and i'm glad to see its finally coming together for you.

Thanks guys! I have learned a lot with the POS LT1, but I guess it holds it's own. One day I will get one of them new LS1 motors!

Looks good Matt.

I would have never heard the end of it if I had a motor in the kitchen though.

[Matts94Z28]

HA! It was only there for a day or two. I don't have a garage and needed a clean environment to assemble it.

[LXtasy]

Damn big money

[Matts94Z28]

Naaahh, It was less than you would think. The Mallory and the MSD harness would be $340+ shipping. I got this with the harness for less than half. Just happened to find a deal at the right time.

[LXtasy]

Good find than. I just figured since you said you got it from ls1tech that it was worth gold

[SS305]

GREAT lookin build!!!

[Matts94Z28]

Thanks!!

Got some go fast parts this weekend...

ask joe about swapping from ls1 to lt1 brakes on a strange 12 bolt.....

[Matts94Z28]

I had not intended on keeping this, but I got it at an even better deal that anticipated, so it will be going in the car.

I will probably just find some LS1 brakes and roll with it.

[MonteC]

We had to get shims from strange to run lt1 brakes on joes car. That involved pressing the axle bearings on and off a few times....

I dont know if moser is any different.

[Joker]

You need an S60

[Matts94Z28]

Got the 12-bolt in the car this weekend, only to be cut short by DS issues. The aftermarket aluminum shaft only had about 3/16 of an inch play front and back, which is odd.

I just got back from Joint & Clutch, they are putting a 1310/1350 conversion joint on the back end and installing a slip yolk that is 3/4in shorter. It should be done and in by Thursday. Once I get that in, I still need to clearance the LS1 brakes (Thanks MonteC) and have Badbob install some LCA reloacation brackets on the rear end.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/190500_551287919605_217402656_31927502_5524290_n.j pg

[ASkipper]

Getting closer.

[Matts94Z28]

Sure am! I measured the shaft from the center of each end cap and got 41 3/4in... which is the stock length. The only thing we could think of is the slip yolk being an issue. This should take car of all issues.

[bwelch]

Was tyler in the bathroom with the light off taking a shit when that picture was taken. LOL. You guys crack me up. I dont know which is better your avatar or his sig!

However, I will need some LCA relocation brackets and possibly some adjustable LCA's. I'm not sure if the rear shocks had this much forward angle on them or not. Maybe I will get some time tonight to measure and be sure the rear is nice and centered.

Go ahead and get the Adjustable LCA and relocation brackets. Looks like you gonna need them.

If bought at a deal!

[Matts94Z28]

Going to call hhp tomorrow and place an order for relocation brackets. Maybe I can find a sucker on tech and get some adjustable lcas on the cheap.

[ASkipper]

I got both on my car and it hooks OK. I am just not sure which hole in the LCA relocation brackets I should put my LCAs in. I got them in the bottom hole but have heard of people running them in the middle hole and people running them in the bottom hole. If you can find out let me know.

i dont even have relocation brackets and mine hooks fine

[Matts94Z28]

I always ran them in the lower hole and my car seemed to like it. It was a .2 improvement over stock.

Then again, maybe it was just the difference in track prep between bowman and dorchester.

[ASkipper]

Guess Im gonna have to experiment and find out which hole it hooks better in. Mine being in the bottom hole may be why I don't pop wheelies. lol

Just jack it up, release the jacks and sit it back on the wheels. They will come off eventually.

Yeah that sucks. The very last part I needed for mine was, according to the manufacturer, damaged during shipping and they don't have an eta on when they will will be available again.

[Matts94Z28]

That sucks, Chris. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. You have to be dying to drive that turd...

I'm pissed because it was originally marked for APR 1st, but got kicked back some how. Maybe I will get lucky and have them come in on Saturday.

[BAD BOB]

Guess Im gonna have to experiment and find out which hole it hooks better in. Mine being in the bottom hole may be why I don't pop wheelies. lol

that and zac was leaving off the trans brake to poppa wheelie

Why don't you bring them to the shop and we can cut them down. We are here now.

[Matts94Z28]

Ended up putting a plate on the car, since I got such a deal on it. I also picked up a 3 point strut tower bar and an adjustable panhard bar. I just need to fab up some new mounts to secure the solenoid bracket to the intake since this one is made to attach where the plate is now.

The car is FILTHY under the hood from sitting for so long! Next week I am going to start taking it apart and getting a few things powder coated soon.

Thank you! I dont have anyone specific in mind, just some fun. I am actually taking this new plate back off and installing a nitrous outlet plate that I came across tonight.

People are saying that the nozzle style plate doesn't atomize efficiently and can tear up plugs or pistons on cylinders 1 and 2. I guess the nozzles are too close to the runners.

I really just need to find the time or have someone wire this kit up the right way and tie it into my ignition box and switch panel.

I still haven't thrown the heads on it yet either, buy that should change this season.

[LXtasy]

I might be confused as hell. but how does the arming switch for the bottle heater actually work?

Is the bottle heater switch still getting power from a 12v ignition source some where? Unless where the red line crosses through the arming switch red line are actually connected to each other than I will retract my questions.



Is your pressure switch going to be mounted on bottle so it knows pressure even if bottle is closed or will it be inline?

Powered from the battery through the relay.

[LXtasy]

It can't be. won't work that way. If that is the case the switch will only activate the led.

So after I look at it again, I believe the powers for bottle heater switch is coming off of the switched side from main arming switch. Along with the purge switch, and wot switch. Hence the MAIN ARMING switch. I would hope that is how it is going to be laid out.

Sorry Matt. I quickly looked over your chart when I posted my previous question
