I'm sure you guys are sick of me talking about it, so I finally pulled the trigger. After 2 months of twice daily 500 mile raidus craigslist searches this is what I came home with yesterday!
I could not be happier with the car!!!! Paint is amazing shape ZERO rust, motor is STRONG, interior is BRAND new and black. Seriously stole this car from the guy!

Pretty slick!
With everyone else, looks really good. When it's going fast who cares right?

SO what's the plans? 347? Tremec? TFS heads? x303 cam? spill it!

From what I'm told its a fresh 306 with trick flow heads, edelbrock upper and lower intake, a "512" cam :lol: there's about a million of those out there. And you'll be able to spot the best part :nod:
I do need to spend a little time cleaning up the wiring.
Vortech v-2 :woot:

Some interior shots. My flash was messing with me, it makes the interior look really bad.

Adam, the car is accident free. I ran the vin and she's good. They're aftermarket headlights, and you know how aftermarket parts fit :lol:

Nice, invest in the cam gear drive system (replaces the cam chain) it will save your motor
-
They have similar failure rate as the chain/gears. Even the "good" ones. My bro replaced his in his 351 w/ gears. one of the side gears ended up breaking in half. pretty sweet.
And even the quiet gears have a horrible nasty "whine" to them.

Take a moment and remove the picture code or simply don't bother quoting previous posts when your reply has no direct correlation to the pictures nor requires them for context.
/rant
Seats and carpet are in great shape. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on the dash/flash issue, as it looks like you have four different shades of black plastic in there with these pics. I like the gauge pod though the tach on the center is a bit conspicuous.
Any plans for the interior/sound system/etc? or is this purely a performance endeavor?

Still haven't seen any burnout pics/vids
dafuq MAYNE!
-
at 280 bucks a tire dont expect a video in the near future :lol:
-
for fuks sake..
you seen the vid of my bro doin the smokey burnout w/ his truck with the red drift tires? (Red smoke). those were $200 a tire....
280 a piece.....? they have gold lining or some shit? cuz that's stupid.
Don't be a lil biatch. Its not like one burnout will kill the tires instantly. CRIPES!!!

This winter I'm hell bent on getting this thing 100% operational. I've been anoyed with a few things.
Fuel gauge doesnt work
speedo if off 20mph
exhaust is really loud inside
sits a little too low (tires rub on nasty bumps)
rear view mirror is lookin nasty
very minor paint flaws that bug me
car hasnt been tuned yet
drivers side window doesnt go up after its been sitting in the down position for a while
sway bar bushings are stripped out
This winter I'm hoping to get all the minor things sorted out.
Parts sitting in the garage: complete poly bushing kit (spring isolators shoulds raise it .5"), new sway bar end links, sub frame connectors, fuel sending unit (should take care of the gas gauge), ash tray door repair kit with new door, new replacement rear package tray, new black shift knob, new rear view mirror, new window motor, 3g 130 amp alternator, 100 sq ft of hushmat, 3 cans of rubberized spray sound deadener, chrome diff cover thats been sitting in the garage for years :lol: , smaller blower pulley (should see around 10psi now) then its off to dyno tune in the spring :woot:
Come spring I'm having the paint touched up, buffed and a couple tiny dents pulled. Basicly making it 100% perfect 8)
If time and funds allow a new amp to get a decent sound system going.

Stereo is soooooooooo over rated.
Listen to the exhaust man!!!!

How much you think it will put down at 10 psi when you get it tuned

Generally with my current mods I've seen people put down anywhere from 450-550

I'm debating weater or not to dyno it, or get the paint all fixed up. I already spent a little too much on it this winter. Trying to keep the old lady happy :lol:
8-900 bucks for either....I'm on the fence, and it runs pretty damn good as it is.

hmmm could have a really pretty painted driveway ornament...or spend the $ to have it run right...
just rattlecan that bitch!
tough decision :rofl:
JK
-
dam 8-900. I've been bitching about having to pay $400 to dyno tune mine lol
-
i'd just get it tuned first. worry about the paint later.
800-900 includes what?

You have to buy the chip to have burned with your tune and that like 200 bucks, and a complete drivibility tune takes a couple hours to do. Most shops charge 135 an hour to tune. Hit any little snags and it gets expensive fast.
I'm also hung up on weather or not to try a smaller blower pulley (sitting in the garage). Right now I'm about 6psi and I think my injectors are near maxed out. So if I up the boost then I'll need some bigger injectors, bigger injectors need a new MAF. The snow ball effect is kicking me ass.
-
Over heated the other night and after replacing the hoses and thermostat, still over heating. Pulled the water pump and this is what I found. My harmoic ballancer had a slight wobble to it and caused the water pump impeller to grind its self into the housing. New water pump and ballancer and all is well.
