Well, only 2 new ones for now.
I have finally got my bird back on the road. The car has been down for almost 1 1/2 years. I took it off the road, because the car started pouring oil out the back of the motor(between the oil pan and bell housing). I figured it was either an oil pan gasket or a rear main. Well after many months of letting the car sit, I decided to finally pull the motor, and see what was up. Turns out it was the rear main(figured thats what it was due to it having over 150,000 miles on it). Anyway, the old one literally fell out the back of the block. So I replaced the rear main, got it back in the car, started to put everything back together, and then decided it was time for some gears. So here comes the car sitting even longer. Well I installed a set of 4.10's and a track lock. I have also replaced the upper control arms(front).
I removed more weight from the car by gutting the doors, which some of yall might remember, moving a light weight battery back up front, lighter rear wheels, and removing other misc. wires.
here are some old pics of the doors..
Well, I've also added Long tubes, gone from 2" - to - 2 1/2" exhaust, electric water pump, 2" carb spacer, crankcase evec kit, going to be running on slicks, of course the gears and track lock.(i think thats all)
Last time it was at the track in 06, it ran a best of 14.13 @ 96 mph, w/ a 1.98 60'.
I'm hoping for around mid 13's next time out.
watcha think?
